Climate-associated anthropometric variation between populations of the Niger bend
A large set of measurements were taken on 512 women and 425 men belonging to ten populations of the Niger bend area, some of which live in the Sahelian, the other in the Sudanian climatic zones about 200 km apart. The two zones differ chiefly by a two-fold higher annual rainfall in the Sudanian zone. The pattern of differences in body weight, skinfold and limb circumferences suggests that the Sahelians allot proportionally more food and/or less p…

Physical measurements of the adult Hadza of Tanzania
The anthropometric measurements made by Professor Nigel Barnicot in 1966 and 1967 on 126 male and 110 female adult Hadza, a group of hunter-gatherers of the Tanzanian savanna, are analysed. Sex dimorphism of subcutaneous fat is particularly high in the Hadza, which suggests a relatively better status of the female sex than in other African societies. The Hadza males are among the leanest Africans. However, they are above the average in weight-for…

Climate and the weight/height relationship in sub-Saharan Africa
25 populations of the rain forest and 44 of the open country, all descended from the West-Central African stock which lived in the latter biome, are compared for body weight and height. On a log weight/height diagram, the 69 populations cluster along a straight line which intersects the lines of equal body weight/surface ratio: the shorter the body size, the lower the ratio tends to be. The rain forest populations are concentrated in the lower pa…
Formes liturgiques et symboliques sociales
The following article applies to the study of liturgical forms an analysis that takes into consideration the impact of the concrete social contexts and social symbols which influence both these contexts and the liturgical forms themselves
A Biological Comparison of Eight Endogamous Groups of the Same Rank [and Comments and Replies]
In order to examine the hypothesis that some Indian groups formerly called "sub-castes" (with the implication of common origin) are in fact separate groups which at different times and places achieved the same social rank, members of eight endogamous groups, all called Brahmins, in Maharashtra were studied for morphological and genetic characters. The statistics developed by Sanghvi-T and G -and an additional one, S (somatoscopic difference) base…
