  • Bitter Taste Perception in BaYaka Hunter‐Gatherers

    Open AccessSarai Keestra, Inez Derkx et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2026

    Bitter-tasting phenotype differed among BaYaka individuals, with higher proportions of bitter tasters among those born and raised in town compared to those from forest camps. These results suggest that early-life ecological context may contribute towards variation in bitter taste perception, which we hypothesize might be due to differences in exposure to bitter wild plant compounds

  • Sensitive responsiveness and multiple caregiving networks among Mbendjele BaYaka hunter-gatherers

    Open AccessNikhill Chaudhary, G D Salali et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024Citada por: 3

    Attachment theory postulates that there is a particular style of caregiving that, because of its interaction with our evolved psychology, is most likely to result in healthy psychological development. Attachment research has been criticized because most studies have been conducted with Western populations. Critics argue this has (a) overemphasized the importance of sensitive responsive caregiving and (b) limited our understanding of multiple nonm…

  • Hunter–Gatherer children's close-proximity networks

    Open AccessNikhill Chaudhary, A E Page et al.ARTICLEEvolutionary Human Sciences2024Referencias: 13

    Among vertebrates, allomothering (non-maternal care) is classified as cooperative breeding (help from sexually mature non-breeders, usually close relatives) or communal breeding (shared care between multiple breeders who are not necessarily related). Humans have been described with both labels, most frequently as cooperative breeders. However, few studies have quantified the relative contributions of allomothers according to whether they are (a) …

  • Agta hunter–gatherer oral microbiomes are shaped by contact network structure

    Open AccessFederico Musciotto, Begoña Dobón et al.ARTICLEEvolutionary Human Sciences2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 6

    Here we investigate the effects of extensive sociality and mobility on the oral microbiome of 138 Agta hunter–gatherers from the Philippines. Our comparisons of microbiome composition showed that the Agta are more similar to Central African BaYaka hunter–gatherers than to neighbouring farmers. We also defined the Agta social microbiome as a set of 137 oral bacteria (only 7% of 1980 amplicon sequence variants) significantly influenced by social co…

  • Stepfamilies, adoption and other forms of the family in hunter-gatherers

    B Hewlett, A H Boyette et al.ARTICLEHunter Gatherer Research2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 37

    The original aim of this Hunter-Gatherer Research special issue was to examine what was known about stepfamilies in hunter-gatherer cultures.While stepfamilies Factors that can contribute to hunter-gatherer children living with non-genetic relatives DivorceTwo demographic factors can contribute substantially to a high frequency of step and adoptive families are high adult mortality and high divorce rates.Marlowe (2010:178) indicates that 'perhaps…

  • Humor and hierarchy

    Ali Giritlioğlu, Nikhill ChaudharyARTICLEHumor - International Journal of…2022Referencias: 15

    We conducted a cross-cultural experiment on a sample of 230 participants, to examine how listening to an audio recording of a male telling a joke followed by either laughter (humorous condition) or an unimpressed murmur (non-humorous condition) affected participant ratings of that male’s social status, dominance, prestige and attractiveness. The experiment followed a between-subjects design. The sample was cross-cultural to explore possible cultu…

  • Sex equality can explain the unique social structure of hunter-gatherer bands

    Open AccessM Dyble, G D Salali et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    Friends and family? Evolutionary theory stresses the importance of living with kin, not least because they share some of our genes. Nevertheless, a large-scale assessment of contemporary hunter-gatherer societies has established a consistent pattern of unrelated individuals living together. Dyble et al. used a modeling approach to suggest that a possible answer to this conundrum is that cohabitation choices are being governed equally by men and w…
