Lactose intolerance in captive nocturnal prosimians (Perodicticus potto)
Life span in captive nocturnal prosimians (Perodicticus potto) with reproductive and mortality records
The Evolutionary Theories of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer [and Comments and Replies]
In this paper certain crucial differences between the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer are explored. Particular attention is given to the Lamarckian basis of Spencer's evolutionary doctrine
The Prehistory of the Southeastern Maya Periphery

Grain Prices and Vital Statistics in a Portuguese Rural Parish, 1671–1720
The rural parish of Turcifal in Portuguese Estremadura in 1671 reflected its standard of living in an unexpected fashion. If the prices of grain grown by the people of this parish are used as an economic guide with high prices reflecting poor agricultural years and low ones representing successful harvests, and such data are then compared with the local statistics, interesting demographic facts result. The mean annual number of marriages and birt…
Some Comments on "Manihot" Subsistence and the Ancient Maya
In 1966, Bronson proposed that root crops, especially manioc, played an important subsistence role in Ancient Mayan civilization and that they provide better subsistence for a substantial population than does maize. The present paper, although limited in scope to the Petén, casts doubt upon Bronson's hypotheses. Edaphic factors in the Petén are such that manioc can flourish in only a limited number of locations. Maize is nutritionally a more valu…
