Jane McIntosh

Jane R. McIntosh is a Scottish archaeologist and author.

McIntosh obtained a PhD from the University of Cambridge on contacts between the Indus Valley civilisation and Mesopotamia.[1][2] She then began writing popular books about archaeology.[2] Her first book, The Practical Archaeologist (1986), has been described as a "key reference"[3] and is recommended as an introduction to archaeology for beginners.[4][5] However, one reviewer of the revised edition (1999) felt that the lack of up-to-date information in some sections meant that it could not be "recommended as a reference source to the serious student of archaeology".[6] Her 2001 book on the Indus Valley Civilisation, A Peaceful Realm, was less well received. Jonathan Mark Kenoyer wrote that "as a story it is quite well written and engaging", but that as an academic reference it is "seriously flawed", with numerous errors, unclear references, and an overall interpretation that "reinforces stereotypes of the Indus that scholars have been trying to erase for the past fifty years".[7]

History of zoology through 1859

The history of zoology before Charles Darwin's 1859 theory of evolution traces the organized study of the animal kingdom from ancient to modern times. Although the concept of zoology as a single coherent field arose much later, systematic study of zoology is seen in the works of Aristotle and Galen in the ancient Greco-Roman world. This work was developed in the Middle Ages by Islamic medicine and scholarship, and in turn their work was extended by European scholars such as Albertus Magnus. D...
