The Effect of Polygyny on Sex Ratio at Birth
A Reanalysis of Murdock's Model for Social Structure Based On Optimal Scaling
A REANALYSIS OF MURDOCK'S MODEL FOR SOCIAL STRUCTURE BASED ON OPTIMAL SCALING John W. M. Whiting, * M. L. Burton, A. K. C. C. Moore, and D. R.

Social Change in Adolescent Sexual Behavior, Mate Selection, and Premarital Pregnancy Rates in a Kikuyu Community
George Peter Murdock (1897-1985)
Winter Temperature as a Constraint to the Migration of Preindustrial Peoples
The dispersion of preindustrial peoples is strongly related to winter temperature in two surprising respects. Based on a classification of societies by language, we introduce a statistical model for their dispersion and show that (1) the 10°C (50°F) winter temperature isotherm has been an effective constraint to migration and expansion, and (2) the dispersion of language phyla has been remarkably homogeneous in a certain temperature scale, in con…

Such an effect has been experimentally demonstrated on certain species of animals; we will explore whether it also holds true for humans. It has been known for some time that when laboratory rats are handled during infancy they make better experimental animals; they are less afraid of the experimenter and of novel situations. For ex…
