Signaling, solidarity, and the sacred: The evolution of religious behavior
Tập 12 Số 6 - Trang 264-274 - 2003
AbstractAnthropologists have repeatedly noted that there has been little
theoretical progress in the anthropology of religion over the past fifty
years.1–7By the 1960s, Geertz2had pronounced the field dead. Recently, however,
evolutionary researchers have turned their attention toward understanding the
selective pressures that have shaped the human capacity for religious thoughts
and behaviors, an...
Monogamy, strongly bonded groups, and the evolution of human social structure
Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 52-65 - 2013
Human social evolution has most often been treated in a piecemeal fashion, with
studies focusing on the evolution of specific components of human society such
as pair‐bonding, cooperative hunting, male provisioning, grandmothering,
cooperative breeding, food sharing, male competition, male violence, sexual
coercion, territoriality, and between‐group conflicts. Evolutionary models about
any one of ...
A Geological History of the Turkana Basin
Tập 20 Số 6 - Trang 206-216 - 2011
AbstractThe Turkana Basin preserves a long and detailed record of biotic
evolution, cultural development, and rift valley geology in its sedimentary
strata. Before the formation of the modern basin, Cretaceous fluvial systems,
Paleogene lakes, and Oligo‐Miocene volcano‐sedimentary sequences left
fossil‐bearing strata in the region. These deposits were in part related to an
early system of rift bas...
Phenotypic traits of primate hybrids: Recognizing admixture in the fossil record
Tập 19 Số 6 - Trang 258-270 - 2010
AbstractFor many years, the likelihood that hybridization occurred in human
evolution has been debated. Tattersall and Schwartz pointed out one of the core
problems with resolving this debate, namely “that nobody has any idea what a
Neanderthal/modern human hybrid might look like in theory, and few have dared to
suggest in practice that any particular known fossil represents such a
hybrid.”1:7117 ...
Resolving the “muddle in the middle”: The case for Homo bodoensis sp. nov.
Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 20-29 - 2022
AbstractRecent developments in the field of palaeoanthropology necessitate the
suppression of two hominin taxa and the introduction of a new species of
hominins to help resolve the current nebulous state of Middle Pleistocene
(Chibanian) hominin taxonomy. In particular, the poorly defined and variably
understood hominin taxa Homo heidelbergensis (both sensu stricto and sensu lato)
and Homo rhodesi...
From forest fires to fisheries management: Anthropology, conservation biology, and historical ecology
Tập 22 Số 6 - Trang 303-311 - 2013
Paleomedicine and the use of plant secondary compounds in the Paleolithic and Early Neolithic
Tập 28 Số 2 - Trang 60-71 - 2019
AbstractReconstructing plant use before domestication is challenging due to a
lack of evidence. Yet, on the small number of sites with assemblages, the wide
range of different plant species cannot be explained simply in terms of
nutrition. Assemblages from the Lower Paleolithic to the Early Neolithic were
examined to investigate the relative edible and medicinal properties of the
plants. The assem...
Human behavioral ecology: II
Tập 1 Số 2 - Trang 50-55 - 1992
AbstractHuman behavioral ecology is an interdisciplinary field of study applying
theory from evolutionary ecology to a variety of anthropological questions. In
Part I of this essay,1which appeared in an earlier issue, I surveyed key
theoretical and methodological elements of the field, and summarized
representative studies and issues in the topical area of subsistence strategies.
In Part II, I tur...
Species, genera, and phylogenetic structure in the human fossil record: a modest proposal
Tập 26 Số 3 - Trang 116-118 - 2017
AbstractBecause of the greater morphological distances among them, genera should
be more robustly recognizable in the fossil record than species are. But there
are clearly upper as well as lower bounds to their species inclusivity.
Currently, the vast majority of fossils composing the large and rapidly
expanding paleoanthropological record are crammed into one of two genera
(Australopithecus vs Ho...
