SynTalk thinks about the role of geography, ecology, biology & human behaviour
behind history (both facts & principles). Did environmentally destructed land
(like grasslands) lead to invasions? We discuss diverse phenomena such as
invasions, climactic changes, agriculture, and burial rituals. Is genetics
shaping and changing our collective perception of the past, and is there
synchronicity in evolution? The concepts are derived off / from biology
(Founder Effect, human genome sequence, single locus polymorphism, dispersal),
history (Aryanisation), archaeology (Acheulean, Quaternary, Harappa, Chinese
oracle bones), mythology (Vishnu Puranas, Kartikeya), geology (tectonic shift,
Lonar Lake, ice-age) & ecology (Tundra, co-adaption), among others. Could the
burial of a dead body have changed history and lead to the birth of art? What
happened ~200,000 years ago, & how did modern humans evolve ~40,000 years ago?
Why does mythology posit something impossible and then we try and make sense
of it? We marvel at the link between cows, mango leaves, vitamin B, Indian
yellow, ‘Pitambara’, frescoes, & heritage. How does some tribal marriage
ritual involve ‘sunglasses’? Why don’t all modern humans produce art? The
SynTalkrs are: Prof. Sheila Mishra (archaeology, Deccan College, Pune), Aman
Nath (history, architecture, restoration, art, Neemrana Hotels, New Delhi),
Anupam Sah (heritage conservation, CSMVS Museum Art Conservation Centre,
Mumbai) & Prof. Milind Watve (evolutionary biology, IISER, Pune)
