Ship's cat

Cat that lives aboard a ship at sea

For the children's book by Richard Adams, see The Ship's Cat.

The ship's cat has been a common feature on many trading, exploration, and naval ships dating to ancient times. Cats have been brought on ships for many reasons, most importantly to control rodents. Vermin aboard a ship can cause damage to ropes, woodwork, and more recently, electrical wiring. In addition, rodents threaten ships' stores, devour crews' foodstuff, and can cause economic damage to ships' cargo, such as grain. Vermin are also a source of disease, which is dangerous for ships that are at sea for long periods of time. Rat fleas are carriers of plague, and rats on ships were believed^[a] to be a primary vector of the Black Death.^[2]

Alvah Hicks’s Human Origins Bibliography (WIP)

This is work-in-progress and includes, as a start, the bibliographic references assembled over the years and oftentimes annotated/summarized by Alvah (Pardner) Hicks. Back in the 1990s Hicks was a human origins blogger before blogging became easy and mainstream: he annotated, summarized and commented on various papers, which he obtained at the UC Santa Barbara library, and then circulated them electronically via the Mother Tongue mailing list.

I personally have never tracked publications on human origins and American Indian origins to the same systematic extent as I have been compiling an interdisciplinary bibliography of kinship studies. John Hawks has a rather comprehensive, 11,500-entry-strong bibliography originating with Milford Wolpoff on his website.

I will be working on organizing and growing Hicks’s bibliographic database as time allows to match and complement Hawks’s bibliographic database. Wherever available, a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) or a ISBN link will take you to the journal website where the abstract (and sometimes the whole paper) will be available for free.
