Rogers, Alan R.; Harpending, Henry C. | Mismatch distributions of mtDNA reveal recent human population expansions | Although many genetic studies of human evolution have tried to make distinctions between the replacement and the multiregional evolution hypotheses, current methods and data have not resolved the issue. However, new advances in nucleotide divergence theory can complement these investigations with a ... | | 1994 |

Nicoll, Kathleen | The climate and environment of Byzantine Anatolia: Integrating science, history, and archaeology | This article, which is part of a larger project, examines cases in which high-resolution archaeological, textual, and environmental data can be integrated with longer-term, low-resolution data to afford greater precision in identifying some of the causal relationships underlying societal change. | | 2014-01-01 |

Zimmer, Zachary | Education of adult children and mortality of their elderly parents in Taiwan | Research shows an older adult's education is strongly associated with mortality. But in societies such as Taiwan, where families are highly integrated, the education of family members may be linked to survival. Such may be the case in settings where there are large gaps in levels of education acros... | Education; Mortality | 2005 |

Li, Minqi | Rise of China and the demise of the capitalist world-economy: exploring the historical possibilities in the 21st century | China's rising importance in the capitalist world economy raises questions of world-historic significance. How is China's internal social structure likely to evolve as China assumes different positions in the existing world system? Will China's current regime of accumulation survive the potential pr... | World economy; China; Economic development | 2005 |

Yu, Zhou | Homeownership Attainment of Adult Children in Urban China: Parental Attributes and Financial Support | Soaring homeownership and housing prices have made it more difficult for newcomers to climb the housing ladder without parental support. This study relies on China Household Finance Survey microdata in 2015 to examine the role of parental attributes and financial support on adult children's homeowne... | Demographics; Intergenerational mobility; Parental income transfers; Parental attributes | 2017 |

Codding, Brian | Codding, Brian: Living outside the box: An updated perspective on diet breadth and sexual division of labor in the Prearchaic Great Basin [Author's Manuscript] | A tremendous amount has been learned about the Prearchaic (before 9000 BP) Great Basin since we advocated a perspective of sexual division of labor based on Human Behavioral Ecology a decade ago. Many investigators have taken our advice and a few have challenged our assumptions and inferences. One o... | | 2014-01-01 |

Yu, Zhou; Fan, Jessie X. | Migrant status and consumer financial fraud in China: a two-stage approach | Chinese migrants face socioeconomic disadvantages. Less is known about their vulnerability to consumer financial fraud, which can impede migrants' integration into urban China. This paper uses nationally representative data from 2015 to investigate migrants' risk factors for consumer financial fraud... | Migration; hukou; risk factors; fraud exposure; victimization; rural migrants; and urban migrants | |

Fan, Jessie X., Yu, Zhou | Prevalence and Risk Factors of Consumer Financial Fraud in China | This study estimates the prevalence of consumer fraud in China and investigates consumer fraud risk factors using a novel two-stage conceptual framework that differentiates fraud exposure from fraud victimization after exposure. Multivariate analyses show that multiple risk factors have opposite eff... | Consumer financial fraud victimization; China; migrants; financial knowledge; risk attitude | |

Smith, Timothy W. | Marital discord and coronary artery disease: a comparison of behaviorally defined discrete groups | Objective: Marital difficulties can confer risk of coronary heart disease, as in a study of outwardly healthy couples (T. W. Smith et al., 2011) where behavioral ratings of low affiliation and high control during marital disagreements were associated with asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). ... | | 2012-01-01 |

Li, Minqi | Dialogue on the future of China | Three Chinese scholars speak to the question: How do you think the June 4th movement of 1989 will be remembered-----as another May 4th 1919, the threshold of a period of general political awakening and turbulence, or instead as a Chinese version of 1848 or 1968 in Europe: a last spontaneous explosio... | China; Politics; Social conditions | 1999 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Genetic variation at the MCIR Locus and the time since loss of human body hair | The melanocortin I receptor (MCIR) locus makes a protein that affects the color of skin and hair. At this locus, amino-acid differences are entirely absent among African humans, abundant among non-Africans (especially Europeans), and abundant in chimpanzee/human comparisons (Rana et al. 1999, Hardin... | Nonsynonymous; Chimpanzee; Constraint | 2004 |

Li, Minqi | China: hyper-development and environmental crisis | China's spectacular economic growth has been one of the most dramatic developments in the global economy over the past quarter century. Between 1978 and 2004 the Chinese economy expanded at an annual rate of 9.4 per cent. No other large economy has ever grown so rapidly for so long in the economic h... | China; Economic growth; Environmental impacts | 2007 |

Berg, Cynthia A. | An interpersonal analysis of subjective social status and psychosocial risk | Subjective social status (SSS) predicts health independently of traditional measures of socio-economic status (SES; Adler et al., 2008; Cohen et al., 2008). Although interpersonal variables are known to be related to both SES and health (Gallo, Smith, & Cox, 2006) and might contribute to their assoc... | | 2011-01-01 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Living standards in black and white: evidence from the heights of Ohio prison inmates, 1829-1913 | The use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in the economic history literature. Moreover, a number of core findings are widely agreed upon. There are still some populations, places, and times, however, for which anthropometric evidence remains limited.
