Market integration, income inequality, and kinship system among the Mosuo of China
Increased access to defensible material wealth is hypothesised to escalate inequality. Market integration, which creates novel opportunities in cash economies, provides a means of testing this hypothesis. Using demographic data collected from 505 households among the matrilineal and patrilineal Mosuo in 2017, we test whether market integration is associated with increased material wealth, whether increased material wealth is associated with wealt…
Context Specificity of "Market Integration" among the Matrilineal Mosuo of Southwest China
Market integration (MI) is a complex process through which individuals integrate market-oriented activities into previously subsistence-dominated lifeways. Changes associated with MI alter the landscapes of individual health and reproductive decision-making. While the consequences of MI are often easily detected in aggregate, the specific aspects of MI that affect health and demography are context dependent and underinvestigated. We argue that an…
Gender Differences in Social Networks Based on Prevailing Kinship Norms in the Mosuo of China
Although cooperative social networks are considered key to human evolution, emphasis has usually been placed on the functions of men's cooperative networks. What do women's networks look like? Do they differ from men's networks and what does this suggest about evolutionarily inherited gender differences in reproductive and social strategies? In this paper, we test the 'universal gender differences' hypothesis positing gender-specific network stru…
Alternative Adaptation Strategy during the Paleolithic–Neolithic Transition
The middle Yangtze Valley is an important region for studying the origin of rice agriculture. Archaeological remains of rice have been found in sites such as Pengtoushan and Bashidang as early as 8000 years ago. However, we know little about the adaptive diversity in this region as research has mostly focused on rice cultivation. With the help of new discoveries, this paper explores another adaptation behavior pattern that emphasizes the utilizat…
Infants’ Speed Discrimination
This study addressed the question whether 6‐month‐olds’ speed discrimination is ratio dependent and whether an oblique effect (i.e., more accurate discrimination of cardinally as opposed to obliquely oriented objects) affects their speed discrimination skills. Infants were habituated to visual displays showing a ball moving with constant speed and tested with the familiar and a novel speed in the test phase. This ball moved either on a cardinally…
