  Prehistoric Warfare: The History...

  Editors Charles River

  Most scientists believe the evolution of humans has a history nearly as long as life itself. Anatomically modern humans and all other life that has existed on the planet first came about from the single-celled microorganisms that emerged approximately 4 billion years ago. Through the processes of mutation and natural selection, all forms of life developed, and this continuous lineage of life makes it difficult to say precisely when one species completely separates from another. In other words, scientists still debate when a human became a human rather than the ancestor species that came before.  
  	Among paleontologists, the question of human propensity for warfare in prehistoric eons has persisted. Primitive conflict that in time grew into a modern military phenomenon has become an increasing avenue of study. Scientists seek to ascertain whether the distant ancestral line of humans is genetically disposed toward the act of war, or whether social and geographical development have created a circumstantial environment for large-scale societal collisions.  
  	Depictions of humans pierced with arrows began to appear in the Aurignacian-Périgordian eras (30,000 years ago), and in the early Magdalenian era (17,000 years ago). A work of Mesolithic art (20,000 to 10,000 years ago) shows an explicit battle between groups of archers, and in Valencia, a group of three archers are seen surrounded by four of the similarly armed enemy in the Cova del Roure la Vella in Castellón. In the Ares del Maestrat in Alcañiz of Aragon, another work depicts warriors fleeing a group of eight archers, while a similar work at Val del Charco del Agua in Aragon shows seven archers with plumed headgear. Other examples show warriors in lines and columns with a “distinctly garbed leader at the front.” In a sense, it’s entirely reasonable to believe that the earliest people were violent and engaged in warfare the same way people did throughout more recent eras.

  Do you like scary movies? Have you ever wondered why? 
   
   
   
  In Nightmare Fuel, Nina Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? And why do we keep coming back for more? 
   
   
   
  Horror films promise an experience: fear. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. 
   
   
   
  With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. Nightmare Fuel covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time. 
   
   
   
  With in-depth discussions and spotlight features of some of horror's most popular films—from classics like The Exorcist to modern hits like Hereditary—and interviews with directors, film editors, composers, and horror academics, Nightmare Fuel is a deep dive into the science of fear, a celebration of the genre, and a survival guide for going to bed after the credits roll.

  Losing her mother at 15, Analee’s life changed dramatically. Thrust into a manipulative, controlling, and abusive environment, Analee’s childhood dreams were shattered, and her future was stolen by those who’d promised to love and protect her. 
  Forced into a loveless marriage at 18, Analee, like her mother before her, tried to make the most of the brutal situation, conforming to the will of her husband and in-laws through years of suffering and abuse. The neglect of her husband and the growing vitriol of his family took a terrible toll on Analee, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. There seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel. 
  Recalling her mother’s faith, Analee turned to Jesus—to survive. 
  "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. He who sits on the throne says, ‘Look, I am making everything new!’” 
  (Rev. 21:4-5) 
  Analee’s story is one of faith’s triumph over tragedy, the sufficiency of God’s grace and strength in our weakness, and the discovery of His overwhelmingly tender love. When Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith enters in, tragedy, grief, and brokenness will not have the last word. 
  Today, happily remarried, Analee embraces the legacy of her mother Alma, following in her footsteps, ministering encouragement and hope to others.
