O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Refutation of the general single locus model for the etiology of schizophrenia | All published studies on the familial incidence of schizophrenia appropriate for testing the applicability of the general single-locus two-allele model are examined under the assumption of a unitary etiology for all schizophrenia. We show that the single major locus model is inadequate to predict th... | Genetics; Diseases in Twins; Chromosome Mapping | 1982 |

Cashdan, Elizabeth A. | Competition between foragers and food producers on the Botletli River, Botswana | The immigration of food-producing groups into areas occupied by hunters and gatherers must have been a common occurrence in prehistory.

Cashdan, Elizabeth A. | Waist-to hip ratio across cultures: trade-offs between androgen-and estrogen-dependent traits | A gynoid pattern of fat distribution, with small waist and large hips (low waist-to-hip ratio, or WHR) holds significant fitness benefits for women: women with a low WHR of about 0.7 are more fecund, are less prone to chronic disease, and (in most cultures) are considered more attractive. Why, then... | Fertility; Optimum; Fecundity | 2008 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Human life histories: primate trade-offs, grandmothering socioecology, and the fossil record | Human life histories differ from those of other animals in several striking ways. Recently Smith and Tompkins (1995, p. 258) highlighted the combination of "slow" and "fast" features of human lives. Our period of juvenile dependency is unusually long, our age at first reproduction is late, and we h... | Meat; Maturity; Life Span | 2003 |
