  • School-Age Pregnancy & Parenthood

    Jane B Lancaster, Beatrix A HamburgBOOKSchool-Age Pregnancy & Parenthood2017

    This important work examines in detail and depth how, as a consequence of changing technologies, diet, patterns of reproduction, and work, relations between children and parents have altered. The editors and contributors hold that biosocial science is particularly relevant to research on human family systems and parenting behavior. The family is the universal social institution in which the care of children is based and the turf where cultural tr…

  • Child Abuse and Neglect

    Jane B LancasterBOOKChild Abuse and Neglect2017

    Child Abuse and Neglect is the third volume sponsored by the Social Science Research Council. The goals of these volumes include the development of a biosocial perspective and its application to the interface between biological and social phenomena in order to advance the understanding of human behavior.Child Abuse and Neglect applies the biosocial perspective to child maltreatment and maladaptation in parent-child relations. The biosocial perspe…

  • Birth weight predicted baseline muscular efficiency, but not response of energy expenditure to calorie restriction

    Open AccessMegan Workman, Jack Baker et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2015

    Birth size did not influence the sensitivity of metabolic demands to fasting-neither at rest nor during activity. Moreover, small birth size predicted a reduction in the efficiency with which muscles convert energy expended into work accomplished. These results do not support the ascription of adaptive function to phenotypes associated with small birth size. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Am. J. Hum.

  • Teen motherhood in cross-cultural perspective

    Open AccessK L Kramer, Jane B LancasterARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2010

    Teen motherhood is the prevalent childbearing pattern in most traditional populations. Yet early motherhood is associated with negative biological and social outcomes in the developed world. We review the teen pregnancy literature in light of this discrepancy, emphasizing two core debates. The first debate centers on whether teens have poor pregnancy outcomes compared to older women, and whether negative outcomes are biologically based. Second, w…

    Emily Post, an upper-middle class American divorcée, not yet the byword for correct social behaviour, as her Blue Book of Etiquette was to be published seven years later, set off from New York in April 1915 to motor to San Francisco. Armed with many misconceptions about the Wild West, she took two evening dresses, a block and tackle and a solid silver picnic set, and planned to see how far she could go in comfort. Her attitudes changed dramatical…

  • Demographic correlates of paternity confidence and pregnancy outcomes among Albuquerque men

    Open AccessKermyt G Anderson, H Kaplan et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2006Cited by: 5References: 68

    We examine the demographic correlates of paternity confidence, or men's assessment of the likelihood that they are the genetic father of a particular child. Evolutionary theory predicts that men will provide less parental investment for putative genetic offspring who are unlikely to be their actual offspring, but confidence of paternity has not been as extensively examined as its importance would merit. Using self-reported data on paternity confi…

  • Evolutionary approach to below replacement fertility

    Open AccessH Kaplan, Jane B Lancaster et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2002

    The large human brain, the long period of juvenile dependence, long life span, and male support of reproduction are the co‐evolutionary result of the human niche based on skill‐intensive techniques of resource accrual. The regulation of fertility under traditional conditions is based upon a co‐evolved psychology and physiology where adjustments of investment in offspring depend upon the returns to skill and mortality hazards. When all wealth is s…

  • A theory of human life history evolution

    Open AccessH Kaplan, Kim Hill et al.ARTICLEEvolutionary Anthropology Issues…2000

    Human life histories, as compared to those of other primates and mammals, have at least four distinctive characteristics: an exceptionally long lifespan, an extended period of juvenile dependence, support of reproduction by older post-reproductive individuals, and male support of reproduction through the provisioning of females and their offspring. Another distinctive feature of our species is a large brain, with its associated psychological attr…

    Open AccessJane B LancasterARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1991Cited by: 10References: 20

    A biosocial perspective on women must emphasize the context-dependent nature of both their biological and their behavioral responses to the demands of reproduction. The evolutionary history of human female reproductive strategies has increased phenotypic and behavioral plasticity in ways that will optimize a woman's ability to access the resources necessary to produce and rear her children. These include a reproductive biology closely linked to s…
