Rogers, Alan R. | Group selection by selective emigration: the effects of migration and kin structure | Group selection may operate through selective emigration, as Sewall Wright envisioned, as well as through selective extinction. The discrete-generation model of selective emigration developed here yields the following conclusions. 1. The fitness benefit of altruism, "depends on the frequency of altr... | Natural selection; Selective extinction; Evolution | 1990-03 |

McDaniel, Susan | Sexual harassment in Canadian academe: explorations of power and privilege | Sexual harassment is one of the ways in which women in academe experience inequities. Knowledge about and understanding of sexual harassment is increasing, perhaps even dramatically. Empirical research on sexual harassment in Canada, and particularly in the universities, is an important contributor... | Intimidation; Authority; Powerlessness | 1991 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Doubts about isonymy | The method of isonymy, developed by Crow and Mange for estimating inbreeding from surname frequencies, requires an assumption that has not been appreciated: It is necessary to assume that all males in some ancestral generation, the founding stock, had unique surnames. Because this assumption is sel... | 1991 | |

McCullough, John M. | Relatedness and kin-structured migration in a founding population: Plymouth colony, 1620-1633 | To test the common assumption of no genetic relationship in a founding population, we calculated average relatedness (r) for the emigrants to Plymouth Colony from Europe on seven voyages from 1620 to 1633. Of 355 individuals, 255 could be individually identified and 4 generations of genealogic depth... | 1991 | |

McDaniel, Susan | Feminist scholarship in sociology: transformation from within? | Few revolutions, epistemological or otherwise, begin in academia. And yet, knowledge producers always play some role in revolutions of any kind, including epistemological revolutions. This paper is in the spirit of recent debates in the Canadian Journal of Sociology about the end of modern sociology... | Feminist sociology; Social reality | 1991 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Quantitative genetics of sexual dimorphism in human body size | A classical data set is used to predict the effect of selection on sexual dimorphism and on the population means of three characters--stature, span, and cubit--in humans. Given selection of equal intensity, the population means of stature and of cubit should respond more than 60 times as fast as d... | Societies; Selection; Species | 1992 |

McDaniel, Susan | Women and family in the later years: findings from the 1990 general social survey | Aging is a feminist issue. Women on average live longer than men, live longer in disability or with chronic health problems, more often experience the deaths of spouse and friends, more often live alone in their later years, are significantly poorer than men of the same age, and more often institu... | Middle age; Old age; Family life; Women | 1992 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Patterns of genetic variation in native America | Allele frequencies from seven polymorphic red cell antigen loci (ABO, Rh, MN, S, P, Duffy, and Diego) were examined in 144 Native American populations. Mean genetic distances (Nei's D) and the fixation index FST are approximately equal for the North and South American samples but are reduced in the... | Gene frequencies; Amerinds; Genetic Distance | 1992 |

Fogel, Alan Dale | Noninnatist alternatives to the negative evidence hypothesis | In this commentary we consider three issues. First, we suggest that Crain's definition of innateness is not biologically plausible. Second, we show how the criteria he uses as hallmarks of innateness can have alternative explanations. Finally, we reinterpret his research findings on grounds that do ... | 1992 | |

McDaniel, Susan | Alice in demographyland: how it looks from the other side of the looking glass | The challenges are many in reflecting on women in demography in Canada in the 1990's. On the one hand, so much is known about women in academia and the hurdles that still need to be overcome " institutionally and intellectually. So much more research exists in the area than it did only a decade ago.... | Women; Universities; Academic life | 1992 |

Berg, Cynthia A. | Perspectives for viewing intellectual development throughout the life course | What has one voice and is four-footed, two-footed, and three-footed? The task of characterizing intellectual development throughout the life course can be likened to the situation that faced the Thebans as they tried to solve this riddle of the Sphinx. Oedipus gave the correct answer to this riddle... | 1992 | |

Francis, John G. | Evolving regulatory structure of European church-state relationships | In Western Europe, many contemporary churches have achieved remarkable levels of administrative autonomy and tangible resource support. Yet paradoxically, public participation in the traditional churches appears marginal. In Eastern Europe under Communism, churches experienced varying levels of hos... | Regimes; Environment; Regulation | 1992 |

McDaniel, Susan | Challenges to mental health promotion among working women in Canada | Health promotion efforts have concentrated on promoting physical well-being with psychological benefits perhaps most often among men. With greater proportions of women now working, the workplace provides excellent opportunities for health promotion and education for women. Given increasing recognit... | Working women; Canada | 1993 |

Fogel, Alan Dale | Developing through relationships origins of communication, self, and culture | I began to consider the study of relationships as an intellectual vocation in 1970, the result of two years of college teaching that was part of my work as a United States Peace Corps volunteer in Bogota, Colombia. After another year I began my doctoral training in the Department of Education at th... | 1993 | |

McDaniel, Susan | Single parenthood: policy apartheid in Canada | Policy discussions regarding single parents often move to income maintenance issues. While the risk of poverty for single mothers with dependent children is high, attention devoted largely to the policy challenges of income maintenance for single mothers may have two unfortunate consequences. Firs... | Single mothers; Social policy; Canada | 1993 |

McDaniel, Susan | Where the contradictions meet: women and family security in Canada in the 1990s | Family and security are both contested ground in Canada in the 1990s. The family and family values are lauded sentimentally on both sides of the 49th parallel. Yet, more and more families, Canadian and American - families with children, aging couples and the working poor - are lining up at food bank... | Values; Responsibilities; Opportunities | 1993 |

McDaniel, Susan | Emotional support and family contacts of older Canadians | Elderly people can no longer expect to spend their senior years living with their families. This is particularly true for older women, who as widows are more and more likely to be living alone. With more seniors living on their own, emotional support from family may not be as easy to come by as i... | 1993 | |

Hawkes, Kristen | On why male foragers hunt and share food: Reply to Hill and Kaplan | My argument is this: Some food resources, notably large animals when they are unpredictably acquired, are too expensive to defend. Other can claim shares of them without repaying shares of the same foods later. | 1993-01-01 | |

McDaniel, Susan | Health care in an aging Canada: constraint or choice? | It is often presumed that population aging will result in increased demand for health care, with older Canadians seen as a "burden" to the working population. Yet, such a presumption of direct correlation (with implied causality) belies the complex questions of societal choices in expenditures: fac... | Age factors; Canada; Health care costs | 1994 |
