Yintoni eyenzekayo kwimpucuko kwiSiqithi sePasika?

Sonke sithandwa yimfihlo yamandulo, akunjalo? Yintoni eyabangela ukunyamalala kweNqila yeNine yamaRoma? Yayiyiphi indlela yokusetyenziswa kweengxowa ezifihliweyo ngaphantsi kwepiramidi yeNyanga eMexico? Yintoni eyenzeka kwimpucuko kwiSiqithi sePasika?

Impucuko yeRapa Nui

Umbuzo wokugqibela ungenye yezona zibuhlungu kakhulu. Esi siqithi saba ngumbonga odumileyo kwiimpawu zelitye ezikhohlakeleyo ezikhumbuza ubuso bomntu. Isiqithi sase-Easter iminyaka eyi-mill kwakuyikhaya lempucuko ephucukileyo yeRapa Nui, eyaphula ngokukhawuleza kwiminyaka ye-1860. Ekubeni le ngenye yezona ziqithi ezikude kakhulu kwihlabathi, into encinci iyaziwa malunga nenkcubeko yenkqubela phambili.

Zininzi iingcamango eziye zafakwa phambili, zichaza ukunyamalala kwabantu, kwizifo kunye nokutshitshiswa kweengxabano zangaphakathi. Ingcamango eyaziwayo kukuba kukho i-ecocide kwisiqithi, okokuthi, abantu bawonakalisa indawo yendalo kangangokuthi yaba yindawo engenakuhlala kuyo. Ngoku uphononongo olutsha lubonisa ukuba le ngcamango isenokungalunganga.

Yintoni ekuthethwa ngayo kwingcamango ye-ecocide

Ingcamango ye-ecocide yile ndlela ilandelayo. Abantu abahlala kwisiqithi sePasika bahambela kuyo kwintsimi esePolynesia. Kwenzeke ngo-1200 AD. E. Phantse ngelixa abantu baseYurophu baqala ukudibana nabantu baseRapa Nui ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-18, ukuchithwa kwamahlathi kwafika kwinqanaba layo.

Imithi ekhulayo kwisiqithi yayisetyenziselwa ukuqhubela iinqanawa, ngoncedo lwabantu ababayo. Ukuqhutyelwa kwemithi rhoqo kwaphumela ekudakaleni kwabo ngokupheleleyo kwisiqithi, ngenxa yoko abantu abazange bakwazi kwakhona ukwakha iinqanawa nokuvelisa ukutya olwandle. Ukuze basinde, baqala ukusebenzisa imithombo yokutya komhlaba, kodwa ukulima okungalawulwayo kwabangela ukukhukuliseka okukhulu komhlaba. Oku kwabangela ukuwa kwezolimo, kwaye, ngokungabi naso ukutya okwaneleyo, abantu baseRapa Nui babesele baqedwa.

Uphando lwezenzululwazi

Nangona kunjalo, iqela lophando elivela kwiYunivesithi yaseBristol, elibandakanya izazinzulu ezivela kwiYunivesithi yaseHawaii naseBinghamton, likholelwa ukuba ubungqina bentlekele engqongileyo abukhangelanga kakhulu.

Ukusebenzisa uhlalutyo lwe-chemistry yesityalo se-botanical, i-human and faunal ehlala ifunyenwe ngexesha leemfuyo ezahlukahlukeneyo zakudala kwisiqithi, izazinzulu zakwazi ukufumana umfanekiso ocacileyo wento abadla ngayo isiqithi samandulo, kunye nokufunda ngeendlela zabo zokulima. Oku kuxoxwa kwi-IFLScience i-IFLScience yaxelela u-Catherine Jarman, umbhali ohamba phambili wesifundo kunye nabafundi abaphumelele kwiYunivesithi yaseBristol.

Iingcali zenzululwazi zifumene ukuba ubuncinane isiqingatha seprotheyini ekudleni kwabantu baseRapa Nui behlala bevela kwimithombo yolwandle. Njengoko kuchaziwe kwi "American Journal of Physical Anthropology," oku kubonisa ukuba abahlali besiqithi abazange bayeke ukuloba.

"Kwakhona sifunde ukuba ukutya abaye bafumana kwimithombo esekelwe kumhlaba kwavela kumhlaba utshintshile. Oku kuthetha ukuba abemi besiqithi baye bacebisa umhlaba ukuba zikhule, "watsho uCarl Lipo, uprofesa we-anthropology kwiYunivesithi yaseBinghamton, kwingxelo.

Oku kuthetha ukuba impucuko yeRapa Nui yayinolwazi olufanelekileyo malunga neendlela zokulima. Ngaloo ndlela, ingcamango yokuwa kwezolimo ayifuni ukugxeka.

Imfihlelo yokupheliswa ayisayi kubonakala

Iziphumo ezintsha zibonakalisa ulwazi oluxabisekileyo emathanjeni ethu, "wongezelela uJarman. "Zineempembelelo ezibanzi, kuba ngaphandle kokuxhomekeka kwimithombo yembali yamandulo, ivumela ukuba siqonde indlela abantu bokuqala ababandakanyeka ngayo kwimeko."

Ngoko kwenzeka ntoni kwiSiqithi se-Easter, ukuba ukungafi kwale mpucuko kwakungabandakanywa nokuphila kwendalo? Okwangoku, kufuneka sicinge.

Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba ukutshatyalaliswa kwendalo yinto enye yezona zinto ezibangela ukuwa kweempucuko. Ngoku, xa kuziwa kutshintsho lwemozulu, ihlabathi liphela lizinikele kwi-ecocide.
