Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in evolutionary perspective: a critical role for helminths?.

Evolution, medicine, and public health

Gurven MD, Trumble BC, Stieglitz J, Blackwell AD, Michalik DE, Finch CE, Kaplan HS.
PMID: 27666719
Evol Med Public Health. 2016 Jan;2016(1):338-357. doi: 10.1093/emph/eow028. Epub 2016 Sep 25.

Heart disease and type 2 diabetes are commonly believed to be rare among contemporary subsistence-level human populations, and by extension prehistoric populations. Although some caveats remain, evidence shows these diseases to be unusual among well-studied hunter-gatherers and other subsistence...

Sex differences in political leadership in an egalitarian society.

Evolution and human behavior : official journal of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society

We test the contribution of sex differences in physical formidability, education, and cooperation to the acquisition of political leadership in a small-scale society. Among forager-farmers from the Bolivian Amazon, we find that men are more likely to exercise different...

A bioeconomic approach to marriage and the sexual division of labor.

Children may be viewed as public goods whereby both parents receive equal genetic benefits yet one parent often invests more heavily than the other. We introduce a microeconomic framework for understanding household investment decisions to address questions concerning conflicts...

Marital violence and fertility in a relatively egalitarian high-fertility population.

Salivary microbiomes of indigenous Tsimane mothers and infants are distinct despite frequent premastication.

PeerJ. 2016 Nov 03;4:e2660. doi: 10.7717/peerj.2660. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: Premastication, the transfer of pre-chewed food, is a common infant and young child feeding practice among the Tsimane, forager-horticulturalists living in the Bolivian Amazon. Research conducted primarily with Western populations has shown that infants harbor distinct oral microbiota...

Culture sometimes matters: intra-cultural variation in pro-social behavior among Tsimane Amerindians.

Journal of economic behavior & organization

J Econ Behav Organ. 2008;67(3):587-607. doi: 10.1016/j.jebo.2007.09.005.

Agent-centered models usually consider only individual-level variables in calculations of economic costs and benefits. There has been little consideration of social or cultural history on shaping payoffs in ways that impact decisions. To examine the role of local expectations...

Wealth transmission and inequality among hunter-gatherers.

We report quantitative estimates of intergenerational transmission and population-wide inequality for wealth measures in a set of hunter-gatherer populations. Wealth is defined broadly as factors that contribute to individual or household well-being, ranging from embodied forms such as weight...

Dynamical Structure of a Traditional Amazonian Social Network.

Reciprocity is a vital feature of social networks, but relatively little is known about its temporal structure or the mechanisms underlying its persistence in real world behavior. In pursuit of these two questions, we study the stationary and dynamical...
