McElreath, Richard | Social learning and the maintenance of cultural variation: an evolutionary model and data from East Africa | Human societies maintain between-group variation despite mixing of people and ideas. In order for variation to remain, migrants or their children must preferentially adopt local norms, customs, and beliefs. Yet the details of how cultural variation is maintained, despite mixing, remain unknown. This... | Cultural variation; cultural identity; East Africa | 2004 |

Codding, Brian F. | Socioecological dynamics structuring the spread of farming in the North American Basin-Plateau Region | The spread of agriculture is a major driver of social and environmental change throughout 25 the Holocene, yet experimental and ethnographic data indicate that farming is less profitable than foraging, so why would individuals choose to adopt agriculture leading to its expansion?

Hawkes, Kristen | Some current ideas about the evolution of the human life history | Human life history is characterised by a long juvenile period (weaning to reproductive maturity), and a long post-reproductive lifespan in females. How do we explain the differences between our nearest relatives, the great apes, and ourselves? This chapter summarises some recent attempts to use l... | Human life history; Fertility; Apes; Juvenile period | 1999 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | South from Alaska: a pilot aDNA study of genetic history on the Alaska Peninsula and the Eastern Aleutians | Abstract The Aleutian Islands were colonized, perhaps several times, from the Alaskan mainland. Earlier work documented transitions in the relative frequencies of mtDNA haplogroups over time, but little is known about potential source populations for prehistoric Aleut migrants. As part of a pilot i... | | 2010 |

Mineau, Geraldine Page | Specification of marital fertility by parents' age, age at marriage and marital duration | The positive association between wife's age at marriage and fertility experienced at the older reproductive ages, cited in recent natural fertility literature, is explored using Mormon birth cohorts from 1840 to 1879. When this relationship is specified by husband's age at marriage and marriage dur... | Marital fertility; Marital duration; Paternal age; Father's age; Mother's age | 1982 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Stag hunts or rearing environments? | Tomasello et al. have made the case that shared intentionality distinguishes humans from our nearest living relatives. What accounts for the difference? The answer they offer is Stag Hunt choices faced by ancestral foragers. Noting problems with that answer, I urge attention to a promising alternati... | | 2012-01-01 |

Increases in surface melt rates are known to accelerate glacier flow in summer, whereas in winter, flow speeds are believed to be relatively invariant. Here ... | | 2013-01-01 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Supply-side economics: a skeptical view | The current buzzword in Washington--and one presumes in Denver, San Diego, and South Bend as well--is "supply-side economics." Since a significant number of economists seem to be lining up behind its flag, it would be worthwhile to take a hard look at the current rage. | Wealth; Poverty | 1981 |

Broughton, John | Terminal Pleistocene fish remains from Homestead Cave, Utah, and implications for fish biogeography in the Bonneville Basin | Eleven fish species were identified from Homestead Cave, Utah. The remains, concentrated in the lowest stratum of the deposit, were accumulated by owls between approximately 11,200 and 10,100 14C yr B.P. and likely represent fish associated with the final die-off of the Lake Bonneville fauna.

Cashdan, Elizabeth A. | Territoriality among human foragers: ecological models and an application to four Bushman Groups | Discussions of human territoriality have become more sophisticated in recent years; we see fewer arguments for or against the adaptiveness of territoriality for mankind in general and more attempts to probe the ecological factors that make territoriality adaptive in particular circumstances. | Foraging; Ecological Models; Bushman | 1983-02 |
