This volume originates in a conference session that took place at the 2018 International Council of Archaeozoology conference in Ankara, Turkey, entitled "Humans and Cattle: Interdisciplinary Perspectives to an Ancient Relationship." The aim of the session was to bring together zooarchaeologists and their colleagues from various other research fields working on human cattle interactions over time. The contributions in this volume reflect well the breadth of work being undertaken on the ancient relationship between humans and cattle across the continents of Europe, Africa and Asia, and from the late Pleistocene to postmedieval period. Almost all involve the study of archaeological cattle remains and use different zooarchaeological methods, but the combination of these approaches with that of ethnography, isotopes and genetics is also featured. Author Interview

Los cerdos son animales admirables pero a la vez inquietantes. Nos atraen y nos causan repulsión. Es difícil encontrar la distancia adecuada; las fronteras entre cerdos y hombres resultan poco nítidas; las relaciones, ambivalentes. Nadie quiere que le digan "cerdo" o "chancho", ¿por que? Los cerdos encarnan lo ominoso en el sentido de Freud que anida en los rincones de lo familiar: lo reprimido, oculto, escondido. Quien haya visto faenar cerdos, nunca olvidara sus gritos casi humanos.Winston Churchill dijo: "Me gustan los cerdos. Los perros nos admiran. Los gatos nos desprecian. Los cerdos nos tratan como iguales". Pero nosotros no los tratamos como iguales: los comemos. A diferencia de los pescados y los pollos, por lo general, los cerdos que terminan en nuestros platos como embutidos o fiambres no nos recuerdan la forma del animal. Constantemente comemos cerdos sin percibirlos. Este libro nos cuenta tambien el extenso espacio imaginario que han ocupado los cerdos: desde mitos y fabulas, poemas, teatro y novelas, cuadros, peliculas y proyectos artisticos, hasta carteles de publicidad, juguetes y utensilios cotidianos un poco kitsch.

Colmillo Blanco, una de las obras más significativas de Jack London publicada en 1906, es una novela que narra la vida de un lobo híbrido en el Yukón, durante la fiebre del oro. A través de un estilo crudo y vivido, London emplea un realismo que trasciende la simple narracion, explorando la lucha del instinto y la naturaleza contra la adversidad y la civilizacion. Contextualmente, el libro refleja las tensiones de la epoca, mostrando no solo la salvaje belleza del entorno, sino tambien las interacciones a menudo brutales entre humanos y animales. Esta dualidad se convierte en la esencia de la historia, ofreciendo una profunda reflexion sobre la identidad y la supervivencia. Jack London, nacido en 1876, crecio en un ambiente de privaciones que influyo notablemente en su escritura. Su transicion de la pobreza a la fama literaria estuvo marcada por su fuerte conexion con la naturaleza y sus experiencias en el Yukon, que moldearon su vision del mundo. La busqueda de la libertad y la lucha contra las fuerzas opresivas son recurrentes en su obra, y Colmillo Blanco sirve como un poderoso vehiculo para expresar estas tematicas universales. Recomiendo fervientemente Colmillo Blanco no solo por su valor literario, sino tambien por su profunda exploracion de la naturaleza y el espiritu de lucha. Esta obra capta la esencia de la existencia, sirviendo como un espejo que refleja tanto las sombras como las luces del ser humano, lo que la convierte en una lectura esencial para quienes buscan comprender la complejidad de la vida a traves de una prosa cautivadora y perspicaz.

"Colmillo Blanco" es una de las obras más emblemáticas de Jack London, publicada en 1906, que explora la lucha por la supervivencia en la naturaleza salvaje del Yukón durante la fiebre del oro. A traves de la perspectiva del lobo protagonista, Londres utiliza un estilo vivido y descriptivo que no solo captura el entorno hostil, sino que tambien reflexiona sobre la dualidad de la naturaleza: la brutalidad y la belleza. Este libro esta enmarcado dentro del contexto del naturalismo literario, donde la influencia del entorno y la herencia genetica marcan el destino de los personajes. La narrativa se despliega en episodios cargados de tensiones y conflictos, no solo fisicos, sino tambien morales, lo que refuerza la conexion intrinseca entre el ser humano y el animal. Jack London, un destacado autor estadounidense, fue un avido amante de la naturaleza, experiencias que vivio en sus viajes y aventuras, incluyendo su propia participacion en la fiebre del oro de Klondike. Estas vivencias moldearon su perspectiva de la vida y lo llevaron a escribir "Colmillo Blanco" como una reflexion de la lucha y la adaptacion ante condiciones adversas. Su interes en el darwinismo social y los instintos primitivos se manifiesta a lo largo de la obra, lo que aporta una profundidad psicologica a los personajes y sus circunstancias. Recomiendo fervientemente "Colmillo Blanco" tanto a los aficionados de la literatura clasica como a aquellos interesados en la relacion entre humanos y animales. La obra no solo ofrece un viaje emocionante a traves de desafios epicos, sino que tambien invita a la introspeccion sobre la naturaleza y la civilizacion. En un mundo contemporaneo donde la conexion con lo salvaje se ha perdido, este libro se erige como un recordatorio potente de nuestras raices y del instinto innato de supervivencia.
