"Unraveling the Human Tapestry: Frank Hamel's 'Human Animals'—A Journey into the Complex Nature of Humanity"

Frank Hamel's "Human Animals" is a thought-provoking exploration of the intricate interplay between our human nature and the animal instincts that reside within us. This fascinating journey into the realms of biology, psychology, and societal constructs unfolds with a narrative precision that both challenges and enlightens. The title itself serves as a prelude to a comprehensive examination of the dualities that define our existence—a title that hints at the untamed aspects of our being, waiting to be unraveled.

Published in [Year], "Human Animals" is a testament to Hamel's keen intellectual curiosity and his ability to distill complex concepts into a narrative accessible to a broad audience. The title alludes to the central theme—the recognition that beneath our veneer of civilization, there exists a primal essence shared with our fellow creatures in the animal kingdom.

Hamel's exploration begins with a scientific lens, dissecting the biological similarities between humans and other animals. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for understanding our shared ancestry, evolutionary traits, and the genetic links that bind us to the broader animal kingdom. The title "Human Animals" becomes a guide through this scientific inquiry, inviting readers to reconsider their perception of human uniqueness.

Beyond the biological, Hamel delves into the psychological dimensions of our shared humanity. He navigates the complexities of human behavior, emotions, and social structures, drawing connections between our actions and those observed in the animal world. The title encapsulates this psychological journey, suggesting that within our societal constructs, there exist primal instincts that shape our behaviors.

Hamel's writing is not merely an academic discourse; it is a bridge between the scientific and the philosophical. The narrative is enriched by anecdotes, case studies, and historical examples that add a human touch to the exploration. The title serves as a thematic compass, signaling to readers that they are embarking on a nuanced exploration of what it means to be human, entwined with our animalistic roots.

As the book progresses, Hamel ventures into the ethical considerations surrounding our treatment of animals and the environmental impact of human activities. The title becomes a poignant reminder of the responsibility we bear as stewards of the planet, urging readers to reflect on the consequences of our actions on the delicate balance of the natural world.

"Human Animals" is not just an examination of our shared biological heritage; it is a call to introspection and societal self-reflection. Hamel challenges preconceived notions, inviting readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the intersections of humanity and animality. The title, with its enigmatic allure, guides readers through a labyrinth of ethical contemplation.

In conclusion, "Human Animals" by Frank Hamel is a captivating exploration that transcends disciplinary boundaries. The title encapsulates the essence of the book—a multifaceted exploration of the intricate connections between humanity and the animal kingdom. Hamel's prose is engaging, his ideas are profound, and the title acts as an evocative portal into the depths of our shared nature. As readers journey through the pages, "Human Animals" leaves an indelible impression, challenging us to peel back the layers of societal conditioning and reevaluate our place within the vast tapestry of the natural world.

Human Animals: Lycanthropy and Other Were Creatures Video

This video is based on a 1908 book. It is applicable to lycanthropy but also to animal ghosts and even furries. Essay version is at Understanding Transformation in ‘Human Animals’ by Frank Hamel.

From the description:

The podcast discusses Frank Hamel’s eBook “Human Animals,” exploring the complex relationship between humans and animals throughout history. It examines cultural beliefs about transformation, such as shapeshifting and the spiritual connections to animals.

I read a crappy book that was supposed to tell me something about theroigne de mericourt but i was left with nothing except the certainty that the author was very misogynistic. Do you have any recommendations (post, books, whatever) to learn about her properly? Thanks

Hi! I'm Di (but you can also call me Spades), a twenty-something disaster head over heels for Rumbelle (and its variants), Anyelle and Anyem, as well as Robert Carlyle and Emilie De Ravin, of course.

I make gifs (most often), write fanfics and occasionally make fanvids/edits.

This is the blog I made as a place for all the content and all my love for Rumbelle (also Golden Lace, Woven Lace and Woven Beauty, I ship all four, they are all beautiful), Anyelle, Anyem and other works of Bobby and Em, with a side of other OUAT content, as well as my love for the cult 90s tv show Friends, which has become my comfort show, Chandler Bing and Mondler, my second favorite fictional couple after Rumbelle.

—

I ship most Anyelle/Anyem pairs, especially the following*:

Rushbelle (Nicholas Rush/Belle, my beloved ♥ Rush definitely needs a Belle as most of Bobby's characters do, to be quite honest)

Hamelle? MacBelle? what do we call these two cuties? (Hamish Macbeth/Belle, Hamish is one of the first roles of Bobby's I've seen other than Rumple and holds a dear place in my heart... and would also benefit greatly from having Belle in his life, even though I also ship him with Isobel)

Russelle (David Russell/Belle... also ship him with Hiero, because come on!)

Robelle? Morrelle? (Rob Morrison & Belle)

Bellix / Felle (Felix DeSouza/Belle... I also ship him with Hiero, guilty 😅)

Lachelle (Lachlan MacAldonich/Belle)

Sutherelle (Robert Sutherland/Belle)

Develle (Danny Devine/Belle also yes, ship him with Hiero )

Gazelle (Gary "Gaz" Schofield/Belle)

Wirrelle? Belleric? (Eric Wirral/Belle)

Macelle (Father MacAvoy/Belle)

Frankelle? Keanelle? (Frank Keane/Belle)

Plunkelle (Will Plunkett/Belle)

Renelle? (Renard/Belle...)

Although I've unexpectedly started consuming Bobby's filmography again a couple of days ago, so I feel like I might add a couple of ships in the near future 😁

(* I also ship almost every of the listed characters with Lacey)

—

I am ALWAYS O P E N to prompts for Rumbelle, any of its variants and any of the Anyelle/Anyem ships from this page, as well as Mondler, ficlets/moodboards!

I am ALWAYS O P E N to Rumbelle, any of its variants and any of the aforementioned Anyelle/Anyem ships, as well as Mondler, roleplay in Discord – just hit me up in DMs!

I am ALWAYS O P E N to screaming incoherently about our favorite characters/ships in DMs/Discord at 3 am and at any other godly and ungodly hour 😜

4/1/13: Braves Win Opening Day Pitcher's Duel

Monday, April 1, 2013 Turner Field

Final score: Braves 4, Phillies 0 MVP: SP Tim Hudson, Braves: 7 IP, 9 K, 5 hits, 0 ER

The opening day match-up between aces Tim Hudson and Cole Hamels did not disappoint. Hudson went 7 strong innings, scattering 5 singles while striking out 9, and no Phillie made it past 2nd base. Cole Hamels was excellent, scattering just 3 hits over 6.2 innings while striking out 8, but the Braves strung together just enough offense in the 7th inning off of Hamels and reliever Ethan Martin to overcome 2 errant baserunning decisions and eke out a 4-0 home win. The Phillies grounded into 3 double plays, ruining their best offensive chances.

PHI 0/9/0 – LP: Cole Hamels (0-1) ATL 4/5/0 – WP: Tim Hudson (1-0)

Atl 7th: Jason Heywards bloops a lead off single into left; after a strikeout, Freddie Freeman singles to center; after the 2nd out of the inning, Dan Uggla is hit by a pitch to load the bases; after a pitching change, Chris Johnson ropes a single to left to drive in Heyward and Freeman; Uggla and Johnson then score on a double by Gerald Laird, who is thrown out trying to get to 3rd on the play to end the inning. 4-0 ATL

(Strat note: starters were all present and fine; the relievers for the Phillies that pitched in reality were not, so I turned to Ethan Martin and Antonio Bastardo, though I guess, to be frank, I haven't necessarily been copying the reliever usage - or pinch-hitter/pinch-runner usage, as exactly as the starting line-ups. Lots of strikeouts in this game though, which checks out with Hamels and Hudson on the mound.)

Atlanta 1-0; Philadelphia 0-1 Next game in replay: BAL (Hammel, 0-0) @ TB (Price, 0-0)

Not the top notch in the genre but still a breezy but still suspense-filled watch if you don’t want anything thought-provoking. Still makes me chuckle that it was Frank Oz to be the one to direct three generations of great actors… **3.75/5**

"Animali umani" di Frank Hamel, Mediterranee. A cura di Alessandra Micheli

Ci sono momenti particolari, specie d’estate, dove la mia mente prende il volo. Costretta a difficili salite in questa valle che è dominata dalla materia, con il caldo essa si ritira, in cerca di fresco o di un luogo non luogo dove sostare. Forse per ricaricarsi. O forse perché stanca di questo vuoto peregrinare. Rapporti da mantenere, sogni da raccontare, limiti da disegnare. E impegni,…

Post assault errands since I only take care of myself when not working tirelessly.

I got my head rocked last week and idiotically went out to do laundry, give away money, and read in isolation amongst the hums of the dryers and washers.

It was calm. But I am hurt.

I wish I could shapeshift and disappear.

[laurasimonsdaughter]

I still have kitsune on the brain, so here is a little folkloric research for your entertainment:

Most kitsune stories I know are either tragic or trickster romances. Either the kitsune dies or disappears forever when she is discovered, or she set out to deceive her partner for the hell of it. So when I saw a kitsune story with a happy end referred to as “the oldest recorded kitsune tale”, I was very upset that I had never heard of it before:

Ono, an inhabitant of Mino (says an ancient Japanese legend of A.D. 545), spent the seasons longing for his ideal of female beauty. He met her one evening on a vast moor and married her. Simultaneously with the birth of their son, Ono’s dog was delivered of a pup which as it grew up became more and more hostile to the lady of the moors. She begged her husband to kill it, but he refused. At last one day the dog attacked her so furiously that she lost courage, resumed vulpine shape, leaped over a fence and fled.

"You may be a fox," Ono called after her, "but you are the mother of my son and I will always love you. Come back when you please; you will always be welcome."

So every evening she stole back and slept in his arms.

Thus says Wikipedia. The source given for this story is Frank Hamel’s “Human Animals”, cited as being from 2003 (p. 89), but this book was originally published in 1915. His source for this story (which he actually bothers to cite!) is Captain F. Brinkley’s Japan: Its History, Arts, and Literature, from 1902 (Volume 5, p. 197). I couldn’t get access to a copy of his work, perhaps he also included his source, but there is another, more direct source for this story, even though the English translation is more recent:

In 1997 Kyoko Motomochi Nakamura published “Miraculous Stories from the Japanese Buddhist Tradition: The Nihon Ryōiki of the Monk Kyōkai”, an annotated translation of “the first collection of Buddhist legends in Japan”, at the time meant to be used by Buddhist priests to teach the people. This Nihon Ryōiki contains a kitsune story, which the Japanese Wikipedia page on kitsune refers to as possibly the oldest written source. Nakamura’s translation of Kyōkai’s tale is longer than Hamel’s version, changes the era it took place in, clears up some name confusion, and adds some very particular details. For instance the origin of the name “kitsune” (Nakamura, 1997, Volume 1, tale 2, p. 104-105):

On Taking a Fox as a Wife and Bringing Forth a Child

In the reign of Emperor Kinmei (that is, Amekuni-oshihiraki-hironiwa no mikoto, the emperor who resided at the Palace of Kanazshi in Shikishima), a man from Ōno district of Mino province set out on horseback in search of a good wife. In a field he came across a pretty and responsive girl. He winked at her and asked, “Where are you going, Miss?” “I am looking for a good husband,” she answered. So he asked, “Will you be my wife?” and, when she agreed, he took her to his house and married her.

Before long she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. At the same time their dog also gave birth to a puppy, it being the fifteenth of the twelfth month. This puppy constantly barked at the mistress and seemed fierce and ready to bite. She became so frightened that she asked her husband to beat the dog to death. But he felt sorry for the dog and could not bear to kill it.

In the second or third month, when the annual quota of rice was hulled, she went to the place where the female servants were pounding rice in a mortar to give them some refreshments. The dog, seeing her, ran after her barking and almost bit her. Startled and terrified, she suddenly changed into a wild fox and jumped on top of the hedge.

Having seen this, the man said, “Since a child was born between us, I cannot forget you. Please come always and sleep with me.” She acted in accordance with her husband’s words and came and slept with him. For this reason she was named “Kitsune” meaning “come and sleep.”

Slender and beautiful in her red skirt (it is called pink), she would rustle away from her husband, whereupon he sang of his love for his wife:

Love fills me completely After a moment of reunion. Alas! She is gone.

The man named his child Kitsune, which became the child’s surname—Kitsune no atae. The child, famous for his enormous strength, could run as fast as a bird flies. He is the ancestor of the Kitsune-no-atae family in Mino province.

Nakamura’s notes state that while kitsune means fox, according to folk etymology kitsu-ne means “come and sleep” while “ki-tsune” means “come always”. “Atae” is stated to be “a hereditary title conferred on the family of a local governor who was of the local gentry class.” The song the husband sings for his fox-wife is originally a piece of traditional thirty-one syllable poetry.

Short as it is, I can easily see how this story would have become a prototype for the romantic kitsune. I have seen people interpret this story as the kitsune coming back to sleep with her husband only one last time, thereafter disappearing forever. But it seems to me that you could also interpret it as her coming back every night and disappearing every morning. Still tragic, still intensely yearning, but not quite as sad.

Of course I prefer the happier interpretation. It offers an interesting comparison to West-European fairy tales where a lover takes the shape of a beast or animal by day, but transforms into a beautiful youth by night. Except in those cases it is usually a curse and the human form is seen as the “true form”. The kitsune, however, is always a fox at heart. Which always makes it odd to me to see them referred to as were-foxes. Japanese folklore is very clear that even while they look like humans, they never truly stop being foxes. Which is why they never stay with humans in the end, even if they love them. So I hope that this kitsune, especially if she really was the first one, at least got to spend half her time with her human family.
