Section MISCELLANEOUS ROMAN MEDICINE VS. CRANIAL SURGERY OF THE BARBARS Bereczki Zsolt1 , Paja Lбszlу1,2 , Madбcsy Tamara1 , Pбlfi Gyцrgy1 1University of Szeged, Department of Biological Anthropology, Szeged, Hungary 2Hungarian National Museum, National Heritage Center, Szeged, Hungary Surgical trephination is a tradition known worldwide and it has been practiced since the Upper Paleolithic. <...> Its earliest written evidence dates back to the ancient Egypt. <...> Mostly as a method of wound treatment, surgical trephination was also known in ancient Europe following the works of Hippocrates, Celsus, Heliodorus and Galenus. <...> The earliest evidence derives from the Neolithic. <...> The history of Hungarian trephination research was discussed in details in the works of Lajos Bartucz (1966), Tamбs Grynaeus (1996), Pйter Tomka (2000) and Lбszlу Jуzsa and Erzsйbet Fуthi (2007), but none of these works cite any Roman relics from the province of Pannonia (today Western Hungary). <...> A recently published article (Tуth-Kiss, 2008) describes a possible case of surgical trephination from the Roman Age, but the evidence introduced in the paper better corresponds to the diagnosis of enlarged parietal foraminae. <...> Key words: surgical trephination, Roman Age, Sarmatians, Hungary, paleopathology, cranial surgery Contact information: Bereczki Zsolt, e-mail: bereczki.zsolt@bio.u-szeged.hu. <...> PREDICTORS OF ACCEPTANCE OF EVOLUTION IN MILWAUKEE, WI, USA Campbell Benjamin, Barone Lindsay Department of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA Recent research indicates that less than half of American agree with the idea that modern humans are the result of evolutionary processes that shape the biological world. <...> Most attribute the lack of belief in evolution in the U.S. to religious fundamentalism. <...> In fact, acceptance of evolution has been shown to vary inversely with the importance of religion across countries, but these results have not controlled for other factors such as economic development and education. <...> To explore the role of religion in the acceptance of evolutionary more deeply, we surveyed visitors to the Milwaukee Public Museum during summer 2013. <...> Information was collected on education levels, religious affi liation and practice, and familiarity with concepts of human evolution. <...> Acceptance of evolution was assessed using the Measure of Acceptance of the Theory of Evolution (MATE) instrument, a twenty-item Likert-scaled questionnaire. <...> Based on a total of 259 <...>
