Discussion Forum on Religion and Science Discourse
LISA STENMARK: First, I just want to say hello to everyone.It's lovely to see this many people show up-either this early in the morning or this late at night, depending on where in the world you are.For today's roundtable, we have brought together several scholars who have been active in the science and religion discourse (SRD) and asked them to reflect on the contributions of indigenous and decolonial scholarship both for our respective discipli…
Scientific data, ecological conversion and transformative affect
Scientific data supporting rational arguments for human-made causes of climate and environmental changes might be persuasive in some contexts. Law, policy, activism and The Earth Charter similarly appear insufficient to change attitudes and behaviours. Even biblical and theological arguments fail to move some Christians beyond apathy and climate denial. Decades of ecological theology and calls for ecological conversion suggest that appeals to rea…
Life Histories of the Dobe !Kung
Life Histories of the Dobe !Kung re-examines an important anthropological data set for the Dobe !Kung, the well-known "Bushmen" of the Kalahari Desert, collected by Nancy Howell and colleagues. Using life history analysis, Howell reinterprets this rich material to address the question of how these hunter-gatherers maintain their notably good health from childhood through old age in the Kalahari’s harsh environment. She divides the population into…

When Abortion Was a Crime
Ache Life History
The Ache, whose life history the authors recounts, are a small indigenous population of hunters and gatherers living in the neotropical rainforest of eastern Paraguay. This is part exemplary ethnography of the Ache and in larger part uses this population to make a signal contribution to human evolutionary ecology

Demographic Anthropology
In this review of the literature, the author focuses on the changes in demographic anthropology, generally since 1970, with greater emphasis on the literature since 1980. 20 years ago the literature on population in the field of anthropology was sparse, inconsistent, and frequently full of factual and logical errors. Part of the problem was that anthropologists did not apply demographic techniques to their research. In the 1980s, communication be…
Applied Network Analysis
Applied Network Analysis is a reference book on the methodology of network analysis -- the study of the structure of relations between people, groups or formal organizations. Illustrations from real research show the problems that arise in network analysis -- and how to resolve or avoid them. Primarily written by Burt and Minor, the book has the cohesion of a text while still using work from other leading network analysts
Infanticide
Territoriality Among Human Foragers
Cost-benefit models derived from evolutionary ecology have led to the general expectation that territoriality will be found where resources are most abundant and predictable. Literature sources for four Bushman groups, however, indicate that the most territorial of these groups are found where resources are sparsest and most variable. This paper has as its aim the extension of the animal models of territoriality to make them more widely applicabl…
Explaining Biased Sex Ratios in Human Populations
Toward a uniformitarian theory of human paleodemography
Village composition implied by a paleodemographic life table
Lovejoy and colleagues excavated some 1327 skeletons deposited around 800 to 1100 A.D. at a site near Lake Erie in Ohio, called Libben. Examination of the implications of the life table presented for the living group which produced the cemetery shows that it would have had to be an extremely young population, in which many of the children would be orphans, in which the adults would have had to work hard and effectively to support the group, and a…

Ambush
A new generation of computer simulation programs for exploring problems in demography, kinship ties, descent groups, and other kinds of connectivity in small human populations is now available for use. AMBUSH is a simulation package which may be useful for simulating effects of fertility and mortality schedules, rules of marriage and kinship, density-dependent infanticide, and other features of closed breeding groups, and their stochastic variabi…
