To the hunter go the spoils? No evidence of nutritional benefit to being or marrying a well‐reputed Hadza hunter
OBJECTIVES: The incentives underlying men's hunting acquisition patterns among foragers are much debated. Some argue that hunters preferentially channel foods to their households, others maintain that foods are widely redistributed. Debates have focused on the redistribution of foods brought to camp, though the proper interpretation of results is contested. Here we instead address this question using two nutritional variables, employed as proxies…
A noisy signal: To what extent are Hadza hunting reputations predictive of actual hunting skills?

The Peopling of New Guinea: Evidence from Class I Human Leukocyte Antigen
This study utilizes newly developed direct DNA typing methods for human leukocyte antigens (HLA) to provide new information about the peopling of New Guinea. The complete polymorphism of eight Melanesian populations was examined. The groups included were highlanders, northern and southern highlands fringe populations, a Sepik population, northern and southern coastal New Guinea populations, and populations from the Bismarck Archipelago and New Ca…
Longitudinal weight growth patterns in the highland fringes of West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea: A comparison of three groups
Longitudinal weight growth data from three groups in West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea, are compared. A form of analysis based on the four-parameter Jenss curve is adopted, to allow intelligible comparisons of parameter means despite irregular weighing schedules for individual children. Although many weighing records include notes of a child's ill-health (e.g. malaria), omission of these weighings does not have a large effect on the results. …

Variation in blood pressure in a New Guinea population
The contributions of age and anthropometric, biochemical and socio-economic variables to blood pressure variation in the population of Karkar Island, Papua New Guinea are examined. Blood pressure does not change with age in males; in females there is a decline from ages 21 to 40 and an increase (in systolic pressure) thereafter. Body weight and skinfold thicknesses decline with age in females; arm circumferences decline in both sexes. There were …
