The Other Bolsheviks: Lenin and His Critics, 1904-1914
Focusing on the thought and activities of A. A. Vogdanov, A. V. Lunacharsky, Maxim Gorky, and V. D. Bonch-Bruevich, this political and intellectual history of Bolshevism before 1914 shows that Lenin by no means dominated or controlled his own fraction of the Russian Social Democratic Worker's Party, as his famous essay What Is to Be Done? (1902) implies. Rather, Lenin and his rival, Alexander Bogdanov, struggled to persuade divided and fissiparou…
Confusing History
This compendium of fifty essays by international philosophers examines history from the point of view of its cognate disciplines, historiography and the philosophy of history. The authors often use the terms history, the past, and historiography interchangeably. Essays are grouped in four broad categories: basic problems, major fields, philosophy and sub-fields of historiography, and classical schools and philosophers of history. The book provide…
Female genital cutting and mother's age at birth are associated with the sex of offspring in Africa
Female genital cutting (FGC) is widespread in Africa. Its short and long term medical consequences are widely reported. Here we report that FGC is associated with and may contribute to increases in the sex ratio at birth (Odds Ratio = 1.019; 95% C.I. = 1.007, 1.032) while mother's age at birth is inversely associated with probability of male birth (Odds Ratio = 0.998; 95% C.I. = 0.997, 0.999) in a generalized linear, logistic model with the proba…
The Mind of Primitive Anthropologists: Hemoglobin and HLA, Patterns of Molecular Evolution
Frank Livingstone played a central role in defining the population genetics of the sickle cell mutation at position 6 of the human beta globin gene, the most famous amino acid substitution in evolutionary biology. Its discovery occurred at a time when traditional, 19th-century principles of natural selection were being joined with the newly discovered mechanics of DNA structure and protein synthesis to produce Neo-Darwinian theory. When combined …

Genetic admixture and gallbladder disease in Mexican Americans
Gallbladder disease is a common source of morbidity in the Mexican American population. Genetic heritage has been proposed as a possible contributor, but evidence for this is limited. Because gallbladder disease has been associated with Native American heritage, genetic admixture may serve as a useful proxy for genetic susceptibility to the disease in epidemiologic studies. The objective of our study was to examine the possibility that gallbladde…

Measuring genetic admixture in human populations: The gila river story
Admixture between human populations is the norm rather than the exception. Many groups practice deme exogamy, so that all marriages include one spouse from an outside group. Typically, that group is a nearby population, but in many areas, especially since the advent of post‐agricultural times, human movement has been greater and matings have occurred between ever more disparate groups. Because evolution is a response to local conditions, and occu…
Heisenberg's War: The Secret History of the German Bomb
Native American mitochondrial DNA analysis indicates that the Amerind and the Nadene populations were founded by two independent migrations.
Mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) from 167 American Indians including 87 Amerind-speakers (Amerinds) and 80 Nadene-speakers (Nadene) were surveyed for sequence variation by detailed restriction analysis. All Native American mtDNAs clustered into one of four distinct lineages, defined by the restriction site variants: HincII site loss at np 13,259, AluI site loss at np 5,176, 9-base pair (9-bp) COII-tRNA(Lys) intergenic deletion and HaeIII site gain at …
Russia Abroad: A Cultural History of the Russian Emigration, 1919-1939
The dramatic events of the twentieth century have often brought about the mass migration of intellectuals, professionals, writers, and artists. One of the first such migrations occurred in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, when more than a million Russians were forced into exile. What distinguishes this emigration from other such episodes in European history is the extent to which the emigres succeeded in reconstituting and preserving thei…
Genetic variation in Arizona Mexican Americans: Estimation and interpretation of admixture proportions
Mexican Americans are a numerous and fast growing ethnic population in the United States. Yet little is known about their genetic structure. Since they are a hybrid, it is of interest to identify their parental populations and to estimate the relative contributions of these groups. This information is relevant to historical, biomedical, and evolutionary concerns. New genetic typings on 730 Arizona Mexican Americans for the HLA‐A, HLA‐B, ABO, Rh, …

Functional and morphological stasis during molecular evolution
The evolutionary distance between two sets of proteins was estimated using the techniques of Miyata and Yasunaga (1980) and Kimura (1980). Human β 2 ‐microglobulin was compared with the homologous murine molecule, while human and equine α‐globin were similarly treated. It was found that a large amount of molecular evolution has occurred in β 2 ‐microglobulin since its divergence from the common ancestor of mice and humans. Kimura's estimate of ev…
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
A restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is defined by an enzyme, a restriction endonuclease, that cuts the doublestranded DNA at a particular sequence of bases, a probe, a labeled, complementary segment of DNA that will anneal to a portion of the digested sample, and a set of variable fragment length bands that appear on a Southern blot. An elementary discussion of restriction enzymes, their nomenclature, recognition sequences, and acti…

GM allotypes in Native Americans: Evidence for three distinct migrations across the Bering land bridge
We report the results of typings, for immunoglobulin G allotypes, of 5392 Native Americans from ten samples, the typings having been performed over the last 20 years. Four cultural groups are represented: the Pimans—Pima and Papago; the Puebloans—Zuni and Hopi; the Pai—Walapai; and the Athabascans—Apache and Navajo. The haplotype Gm 1;21 has the highest frequency in each population while Gm 1,2;21 is polymorphic in all except the Hopi. The Mongol…

Diabetes mellitus in the Pima Indians: Genetic and evolutionary considerations
Non‐insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus is a common disease in the Pima Indians. It is familial and strongly related to obesity. Neel (1962) suggested that the introduction of a steady food supply to people who have evolved a “thrifty genotype” leads to obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Our findings in the Pimas of differences in insulin sensitivity in different metabolic pathways suggest that the thrifty genotype involves the ability of…

Scientific Creationism: An Exegesis for a Religious Doctrine
An exegesis of the seminal works of Henry M. Morris, Director of the Institute for Creation Research, clearly reveals that scientific creationism is a religious doctrine. It is a necessary dogma of the conservative evangelical's particular form of Christianity, is premised upon a literal interpretation of the Bible, and has as its purpose the defense of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The HLA loci of the Hopi and Navajo
The purpose of this paper is to present the genetic distribution at the HLA‐A,B,C, and DR loci in the Hopi and the Navajo. A sample of 100 outpatients from each tribe was selected at the Public Health Service Indian Hospital in Keam's Canyon, Arizona, and was typed for the antigens at the four loci. The distributions of the alleles and the haplotypes are similar in each tribe. A distance measure, f, confirms the genetic similarity of the two popu…

Historians generally dislike lost causes. They seek to explain what happened, rather than what might have been, and have consequently neglected the story of political emigrations. Granted, the study of dmigres is full of methodological pitfalls for the unwary: biased accounts of past issues, outright forgeries of documentary evidence, personal recriminations that serve to distort political reality, and a pervasive mood of bitterness, acrimony, no…
Hla Ii: The emergence of the molecular model for the human major histocompatibility complex
The known complexity of the HLA system continues to grow. Simultaneously, investigators are constructing a molecular model for the human major histocompatibility complex that accounts for the extensive variation at the HLA loci. Three alleles were given new WHO nomenclature at the HLA-A locus, 7 at HLA-B, 7 at HLA-D, and 6 at HLA-DR. Two entirely new loci were given WHO status: HLA-DQ and HLA-DP. The HLA-A, -B, and -C loci (class I genes) code fo…

"Changing Landmarks" in Russian Berlin, 1922-1924
One of the most pressing problems facing the Soviet government in the 1920s was how to recruit the technical intelligentsia and professional classes behind the new regime. Just as the officer corps of the Imperial government was a necessary adjunct to the Red Army during the Civil War, so the businessman, the doctor, and the bureaucrat were essential to the functioning of orderly social and political institutions under the New Economic Policy.

Russians in Germany: 1900-1914
In the summer of 1914 Europeans went to war not only at the urging of those crowned rulers, diplomats, army officers and industrialists who had set the stage for the conflagration that followed, but also for their own causes. Even when public opinion did not decisively alter public policy, it helped to convince policymakers that their decisions enjoyed popular support. Widespread Russophobia was an important element in German public opinion in th…
