Detection of the Agricultural Demographic Transition in China
The signal of the Agricultural Demographic Transition (ADT) has been detected in China from palaeoanthropological data and the density of archaeological sites during the Neolithic agricultural transition. • From 800 to 1300 years after the origin of agriculture, the proportion of the immature skeletons from fisher-gatherer increases from 0.08-0.14 to 0.2. • The site densities after the adoption of the agriculture also change abruptly ad correlati…
Estimating a Mortality Profile of Fisher-Gatherers in Brazil Using Cementochronology
The evolution of nomadic collectors' fertility and mortality before the agriculture invention in independent centers 10,000 years ago is still debated. Skeletal samples are the only way to observe prehistoric demographic patterns directly. Each assemblage is critical for direct investigation since pre-farming groups exhibit high residential mobility. Cabeçuda is a funerary mound (sambaqui) in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Its occupation (4,180BP-…

Cementochronology, to cut or not to cut
One of the continuing problems in paleopathology and paleoepidemiology is an inability to accurately age adult skeletons. Accurate age estimations are critical to the proper evaluation of population health and are necessary in circumventing certain aspects of the osteological paradox. Cementochronology is most likely the only age indicator in anthropology that directly considers a continuously growing tissue and does not require either complex st…

Neanderthal Demographic Estimates
This article offers a critical review of population estimates for the Neanderthal metapopulation based on (paleo-) biological, archaeological, climatic, and genetic data. What do these data tell us about putative Neanderthal demography? Biological data suggest a similar demographic frame (life-history traits, such as potential maximum longevity, age at menarche, and duration of gestation) between Neanderthals and modern humans. Archaeological dat…

When the World’s Population Took Off
During the economic transition from foraging to farming, the signal of a major demographic shift can be observed in cemetery data of world archaeological sequences. This signal is characterized by an abrupt increase in the proportion of juvenile skeletons and is interpreted as the signature of a major demographic shift in human history, known as the Neolithic Demographic Transition (NDT). This expresses an increase in the input into the age pyram…
Understanding the rates of expansion of the farming system in Europe
The Agricultural Demographic Transition During and After the Agriculture Inventions
An abrupt increase in fertility has been recorded in data from 200 cemeteries and ethnographic data ranging from the Meso-Neolithic Eurasian center in the Levant to the arctic circle in the North American continent in the twentieth century AD. This shift has been called, synonymously, the Neolithic demographic transition or the agricultural demographic transition (ADT). It is interpreted as the effect on fertility of an abrupt change in maternal …
Technological Responses of Neanderthals to Macroclimatic Variations (240,000–40,000 BP)
Using a database of 499 archaeological assemblages from 332 sites in Europe, we statistically test a model of the economic reactivity of the hunter-gatherer production system to climatic variations. This model predicts an increase in the diversity of lithic tools during harsh cold periods, in order to maintain carrying capacity, and a reduction during favorable climatic periods. Diversity was measured from the variations in flint tool distributio…

Testing the Hypothesis of a Worldwide Neolithic Demographic Transition
The signal of a major demographic change characterized by a relatively abrupt increase in the proportion of immature skeletons has been detected in a paleoanthropological database of 38 MesolithicNeolithic cemeteries from Europe and North Africa. From the Mesolithic to the Neolithic, the proportion of immature skeletons increases by 2030% over a period of 500700 years, indicating a notable increase in the crude birth rate. This shift has been cal…

Expected palaeoanthropological and archaeological signal from a Neolithic demographic transition on a worldwide scale
A s signal of major demographic change was detected from a palaeoanthropologicaldatabase of 68 Meso-Neolithic cemeteries in Europe (reduced to 36 due to a sampling bias). The signal is characteriyed by a relatively abrupt change in the proportion of immature skeletons (aged 5-19 years), relative to all buried skeletons (5 years +). From the Meso to the Neolithic, the proportion rose from approximately 20% to 30%. This change reflects a noticeable…

Space–time evolution of the fertility transition in India, 1961–1991
A fertility index has been estimated which takes into account the space–time variations of mortality rates of children and women and the different fertility rates of women across age groups. The basic data are the recorded frequencies at district level for four decennial census dates (1961 to 1991) of children aged 0–4 years and women aged 15–49 years. On that basis, we have 326, 349, 400 and 454 data points on the map for each decennial census, …
Evidence for a spatial diffusion of contraception at the onset of the fertility transition in victorian Britain
The Princeton European Fertility Project has established, along with other research, that fertility transition in western Europe occurred within rather than across linguistic boundaries (Livi Bacci, 1971; Lesthaeghe, 1977; Coale and Watkins, 1981; Watkins, 1991). The debate over the onset of the fertility transition can be summarized by two hypotheses: individual adaptation of couples to the new constraints of modernization, or diffusion of a cul…

Familial transmission of longevity
The Tau model of phenotypic transmission has been used to analyze the familial correlations (nuclear families and extended families) of longevity at Arthez d'Asson (individuals born between 1686 and 1899). At birth, the transmissibility (t2) is very weak: 0.103; at 20 years old, t2 = 0.167; at 50 years old, t2 = 0.294. The effect of sibling environment on children's phenotype is s = 0.086 at birth, is thus null. A cohabitional effect between spou…

A test of a path model of biocultural transmission of fertility
A model adapted to a general linear model of phenotypic transmission (two components: (1) genetic additive, (2) cultural [age at marriage]) has been used to analyse the familial correlations of fertility (number of children) born before the demographic transition at Arthez d'Asson (Béarn, 1744-1889). The model is rejected: chi 2 = 55.7 with 6d.f. In the ancient demographical regime, reproduction and nuptiality of a couple were not influenced by t…

Brief communication
Two new techniques-one anthropological, which estimates the mean age at death for adult skeletons, the other demographic, which gives main survivorship curve parameters-are used on a sample of skeletons (N approximately 170) discovered in a Neolithic rock-cut chamber (Loisy-en-Brie, France). The iterative technique for aging used a stochastic sampled F matrix derived from the trabecular involution of the femoral head observed in the reference col…
