Eithne Kavanagh et al.
Darwin and other pioneering scholars made comparisons between human facial signals and those of non-human primates, suggesting they share evolutionary history. We now have tools available (Facial Action Coding System: FACS) to make these co...

Kinship terminologies are the semantic systems of language that express kinship relations between individuals: in English, 'aunt' denotes a parent's sister. Theoretical models of kinship terminology diversity reduce over 10 billion possible...

2021 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Robert C. Dunnell's (1971) diminutive yet dense Systematics in Prehistory. At the height of the debate between Culture History and New Archaeology, Dunnell's work sought to address ...
Life-history tradeoffs in a historical population (1896-1939) undergoing rapid fertility decline: Costs of reproduction? [0.03%]
历史人口（1896-1939）在快速生育下降过程中产生生存方式权衡吗？生育的代价？
Adrian V Jaeggi,Jordan S Martin,Joël Floris et al.
Adrian V Jaeggi et al.
Evolutionary demographers often invoke tradeoffs between reproduction and survival to explain reductions in fertility during demographic transitions. The evidence for such tradeoffs in humans has been mixed, partly because tradeoffs may be ...
The evolutionary ecology of age at natural menopause: implications for public health [0.03%]
自然绝经年龄的进化生态学：对公共健康的影响
Abigail Fraser,Cathy Johnman,Elise Whitley et al.
Abigail Fraser et al.
Evolutionary perspectives on menopause have focused on explaining why early reproductive cessation in females has emerged and why it is rare throughout the animal kingdom, but less attention has been given to exploring patterns of diversity...
