    Sammanfattning : A joint archaeogenetic perspective integrates diverse lines of evidence from archaeology and paleogenetics to advance our understanding of human prehistory. In this thesis I contribute to the corpus of archaeogenetic data by producing and analysing ancient genomic data from osseous and masticated material. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Following the herd : Population genetics of European sheep in time and space

    Författare :Pedro Morell Miranda; Torsten Günther; Mattias Jakobsson; Daniel G. Bradley; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Sheep; Population Genetics; Ancient DNA; Wool; Demography; Wool; Mouflon;

    Sammanfattning : Sheep, which were domesticated in the Fertile Crescent about 10,000-12,000 years ago, have been a key resource for human populations ever since. We, however, know little about how they were domesticated, and what happened to them after their initial expansion from their domestication area into all corners of Eurasia and later Africa and the Americas.

    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; ambiguity; causal factor; drift; evolutionary theory; force; function; intentional psychology; interpretation; multiple realisation; natural selection; philosophical method; pre-theoretical influence; redundancy; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

    Sammanfattning : Although the theory of evolution is well-established it nevertheless presents us with a few unresolved matters of interpretation. One key task is to get clear about what exactly one should take the term 'natural selection' to denote. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Sounds Unheard of: Evolutionary algorithms as creative tools for the contemporary composer

    Författare :Palle Dahlstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; evolutionary algorithms; interactive evolution; music composition; sound synthesis; non-linear dynamics; music composition;

    Sammanfattning : Evolutionary algorithms are studied as tools for generating novel musical material in the form of musical scores and synthesized sounds. The choice of genetic representation defines a space of potential music. This space is explored using evolutionary algorithms, in search of useful musical material. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Voluntary Coercion. Collective Action and the Social Contract

    Författare :Magnus Jiborn; Praktisk filosofi; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; convention.; evolutionary stability; equilibrium; Assurance game; Prisoner s Dilemma; evolutionary game theory; game theory; collective action; Social contract; Systematic philosophy; ethics; aesthetics; metaphysics; epistemology; ideology; Praktisk filosofi; estetik; metafysik; kunskapsteori; ideologi;

    Sammanfattning : This work provides a game theoretical analysis of the classical idea of a social contract. According to what we might call the Hobbesian justification of the state, coercion is necessary in order to provide people with basic security and to enable them to successfully engage in mutually beneficial cooperation.
