À propos de ce produit
Product Information
Well before Columbus, Native Americans observed the enormous and mysterious petrified bones of extinct prehistoric creatures and sought to understand their transformation to stone. In perceptive creation stories filled with sophisticated insights-some of which anticipate modern scientific theories-dinosaurs, mammoths, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles were visualized as Giant Lizards, Monster Bears, Thunder Birds, and Water Monsters, In this original and richly illustrated book, Adrienne Mayor draws on history, oral tales, and interviews as she takes us from Aztec and Inca fossil legends to the traditions of Iroquois, Navajo, Cheyenne, Sioux, Pawnee, and other groups. The result is a vivid panorama of how humans explained fossils long before evolutionary theory.

Reviews
Through remarkably wide-ranging research, Mayor has recovered the fascinating story of how various tribes encountered and interpreted dinosaur bones and other remains of early life. . . . [She] illuminates the surprisingly relevant views of early peoples confronting evidence of prehistoric life. . . . This pioneering work replaces cultural estrangement with belated understanding., "Mayor the storyteller relishes the opportunity to provide fascinating insights, but she shines most in her ability to stitch together a rich and varied body of oral history grounded in natural history. . . . Mayor clearly thrives at the intersection of science and folklore." ---Bryn Nelson, Newsday, "Marshaling the array of evidence available from scholarly and popular works, and contributing her own research, Mayor shows that far from ignoring fossils, many Native American groups took great notice of them and developed elaborate myths to explain their origin. . . . Though Mayor is careful not to homogenize native myths, she does note that virtually all of them exhibit a sense of 'deep time,' as geologists call it: an awareness that the world has existed for far longer than humans have walked it." ---Eric A. Powell, Archaeology, "Few books have had such an influence on my thinking as Adrienne Mayor's book on fossil legends of the New World. For one thing, it invites one to ask how anyone can make old stories about old bones both so interesting and so worthwhile. . . . What Mayor has done is astonishing. She has been so thorough that it's difficult to imagine anyone ever writing a more definitive book on her subject. . . . A hundred years from now, this book will surely continue to be read, consulted, and mined for data. I would not want to be a piece of data seeking to escape her attention. . . . Mayor not only shows how these stories cast light on cultural history but also demonstrates repeatedly that they anticipated many of the views of modern scientists." ---Paul Barber, Journal of American Folklore, " Fossil Legends of the First Americans presents an interesting, intriguing and informative text, written in a fun, accessible way that will appeal to a wide audience, without scaring off the scientific community. The manner in which fossils legends and Native American tales are dealt with, is as original. . . . Adrienne Mayor has based her book on a substantial amount of relevant, up-to-date and to-the-point research data, and as such commands the reader's indulgence." ---C. van Kooten, PaleoArchaeology, "Mayor's book is a fascinating exploration of how Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island held, and still hold, knowledge of fossils. Indigenous peoples observed the remains of enormous creatures found embedded in our land--from dinosaurs to giant buffalo--and integrated these findings into our ways of knowing. Mayor's coupling of Indigenous stories of legendary beings to specific fossils, bone beds, and species makes this a must-read for anyone who thinks that the wisdom held in Indigenous oral traditions is anything less than science." ---Kent Monkman, award-winning Cree visual artist
