Iwein is generally regarded as the last of Hartmann's works. [1] It must already have been well known to the audience for Wolfram's Parzival, since Wolfram alludes in two passages (253, 10–14 and 436,1–10) to a specific scene in Iwein: he contrasts the faithfulness of Sigûne to her dead suitor Schianatulander with Lûnete's advice to Laudine in Iwein to marry her husband's killer (Iwein ...
Humans are some of the best long distance runners in the animal kingdom; [6] some hunter gatherer tribes practice this form of hunting into the modern era. [7] [8] [9] Homo sapiens have the proportionally longest legs of all known human species, [3] [10] [11] but all members of genus Homo have cursorial (limbs adapted for running) adaptions not seen in more arboreal hominids such as ...

The members of the Conradie party were hardly the first people to be intrigued about the prospect of a lion encounter. The “King of the Jungle” has a long history as a subject of fascination.
Human–lion conflict refers to the pattern of problematic interactions between native people and lions. Conflict with humans is a major contributor of the decline in lion populations in Africa. [1] Habitat loss and fragmentation due to conversion of land for agriculture has forced lions to live in closer proximity to human settlements. [2]
The endurance running hypothesis is a series of conjectures which presume humans evolved anatomical and physiological adaptations to run long distances [1] [2] [3] and, more strongly, that "running is the only known behavior that would account for the different body plans in Homo as opposed to apes or australopithecines".
Their focus is the home of Mr Berringer, the leader of a group interested in magical symbolism who falls into a coma after contact with the first archetype unloosed, the lion of the title. Other powers follow this one and cut off the town from the rest of the world that they will inevitably absorb and reshape.
