| As her correspondence indicates, Hurston consulted with Boas frequently, seeking his advice and affirmation. |
|
| She received a PhD. in anthropology from Columbia University, where she was trained by Franz Boas, a pioneer in cultural anthropology. |
|
| Boas staged a mock funeral for Qisuk and lied to Minik about what he did with his father's body, which in fact was autopsied and accessioned to the museum's collections. |
|
| When threatened, Rubber Boas will sometimes hide their head and elevate the tip of their tail to fool a predator into attacking the tail which looks somewhat like a head. |
|
| The bright fur accessories include fur bowties, Boas, and camera straps. |
|
| Later in the nineteenth century, Franz Boas brought the fields of Anthropology and Material Culture Studies closer together. |
|
| Boas eschews the play as ethical treatise or psychological study and instead takes a more historicist and literal approach. |
|
| Like their relatives, rubber boas kill by constriction, with prey usually mice or shrews. |
|
| They are also preyed upon by mammalian predators such as cats, and by snakes such as boas and anacondas. |
|
| You can learn a great deal even when your boat is anchored or tied to the dock, especially if other boas are moving about nearby. |
|
| They dozed with their black-and-white ringed tails flung over their shoulders like feather boas. |
|
| Rubber boas are secretive, slow-moving, docile snakes, usually found under logs and rocks in either moist or dry forest habitats. |
|
| Feather boas, by the way, and full length evening gloves will be all the go on the social scene this season. |
|
| In some snakes, most notably boas and pythons, there are vestiges of the hindlimbs in the form of a pair of pelvic spurs. |
|
| This bolshy but buoyant single is The Scissor Sisters wearing bovver boots rather than feather boas and it could, er, break them in Britain. |
|
| More advanced snakes have no remnants of limbs, but basal snakes such as pythons and boas do have traces of highly reduced, vestigial hind limbs. |
|
| Tapirs, iguanas, turtle eggs, armadillos and boas are also sometimes eaten, but because of extinction threats to these wild creatures, there are efforts to curb this custom. |
