InequalityThe prehistoric shift towards cultivation began our preoccupation with hierarchy and growth – and even changed how we perceive the passage of time
Most people regard hierarchy in human societies as inevitable, a natural part of who we are. Yet this belief contradicts much of the 200,000-year history of Homo sapiens.
In fact, our ancestors have for the most part been “fiercely egalitarian”, intolerant of any form of inequality. While hunter-gatherers accepted that people had different skills, abilities and attributes, they aggressively rejected efforts to institutionalise them into any form of hierarchy.
JK Rowling This article is more than 1 year oldJK Rowling launches support centre for female victims of sexual violenceThis article is more than 1 year oldBeira’s Place will add to Edinburgh’s existing rape crisis centre, which is run by a trans woman
JK Rowling is funding a new support and counselling service for survivors of sexual violence in Edinburgh.
The author, who has written about her own experience as a survivor of sexual assault, is setting up the new centre, called Beira’s Place, because she believes there is an “unmet need for women” in the Lothians area.
There can't be many films around as culpably awful as this. At least I very much hope not. A brother and sister, Joseph (Vincent Rottiers) and Chloé (Adele Haenel), are on the run from a string of foster homes and detention centres. Joseph is angry, suspicious and fiercely protective of the elder Chloé, who is disturbed and almost feral. In this latter role, Haenel gives an embarrassingly bad performance - like something from a youth drama group.
