"Th[is] book maps the ways to the analysis of the genome of Gregor Johann Mendel, a project which was carried out to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of this important scientist. It describes the exhumation of his remains from the Augustinian tomb at the Central Cemetery in Brno and the scientific examination that followed, as well as the search for traces of Mendel's DNA on his personal belongings kept in the Augustinian Abbey in Old Brno. The individual chapters, that is, the ways of research, introduce the reader to the initial impulses leading to the archaeological research on the tomb and the subsequent analysis of Mendel's genome. They describe the process of identifying the remains found in the grave with the person of Abbot Mendel, the anthropological research on his skeletal remains, as well as the process of isolation and analysis of the DNA of this historical figure. Rich photographic documentation chronicles the exciting work of the scientific team. Thanks to their efforts, the book reveals surprising findings and new, important details about the founder of genetics."--Page 4 of cover.

Les vestiges anthropobiologies mis au jour en contexte archéologique ont une place singulière parmi les éléments du patrimoine archéologique. Ils génèrent des questionnements éthiques et scientifiques qui éludent souvent l’intérêt patrimonial. La richesse des réflexions autour des vestiges anthropobiologiques rapportées ici montre la volonté d’appréhender leur aspect archéologique, anthropologique, éthique, juridique voire social dont l’importance est grandissante. Après avoir souligné leur valeur heuristique universelle, le livre s’articule autour de 4 axes. Le premier renseigne la diversité de cette mémoire unique et sensible, relique biologique du passé et support d’une construction sociale via le rituel funéraire. Le deuxième livre des questionnements autour du statut de ces restes au prisme du régime juridique des vestiges humains patrimonialisés. Un troisième concerne la conservation et la valorisation des vestiges anthropobiologiques. Le dernier rend compte des approches réglementaires hors des frontières hexagonales. A la lecture de cet ouvrage, il apparaît que les ensembles ostéo-archéologiques, ne sont plus déconnectés des questionnements sociétaux ni même dissociés d’un souvenir collectif ou d’une forme de mémoire universelle. Ils contribuent à l’histoire commune, depuis l’échelle régionale jusqu’à celle de l’espèce. In fine le livre cherche à définir davantage ce que sera le "vestige anthropobiologique patrimonialisé" de demain (4e de couverture)

"A thrilling tale of discovery and the history of Homo floresiensis. There is only one kind of human on earth today- us. But we are only one of a number of human species - primates of the Hominini tribe - that have existed on our planet across the millennia. In 2004 the world was astounded by the discovery of Homo floresiensis, a species of human never encountered before, on the island of Flores in the Indonesian archipelago. A very short, thickset being, with long arms and feet and an appetite for stegodons (a now extinct relative of modern elephants), it was soon nicknamed 'the hobbit'. As recently as 52,500 years ago, at a time when our own ancestors were spreading around the world, these 'hobbit' cousins lived also, at least on Flores. In Little Species, Big Mystery archaeologist Debbie Argue takes us on a journey of thrilling scientific discovery, recounting the unearthing of H. floresiensis, the archaeological expeditions that have followed, other finds - including that of a small Philippines hominin - and new paths of research and discussion. Argue conveys the excitement of searching for and finding clues to a lost past, and the animated discussions that have flowed from their discovery. She provides much contextual information to strengthen our grasp of the essential coordinates of this field and stimulate our interest in the shadowy, fascinating realm of prerecorded time."--
