A team including UCLA anthropologist Brian Wood has now found that when the winners expand their territory through such conflict, females give birth more often, and their infants are more likely to survive.

The Fowler Museum’s latest exhibition from its permanent collection, “Belongings,” traces the stories of objects as they move across eras and geographies. On display now is an intricately carved tsesah, or mask, from Cameroon’s grassfields region created in the 1890s before German colonizers arrived. Fewer than 20 of these masks exist worldwide. Meanwhile, at the Hammer Museum, “Rising Sun, Falling Rain,” with works from UCLA’s Gruenwald Center for the Graphic Arts, transports viewers to Japan’s Edo period and the practice of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The prints capture a “floating world” of beauty, drama and everyday life, like the vivid triptych pictured above by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. These two exhibitions offer a parallel window into the artistry of two different cultures and continents — held together in our now.
