The short die young
It has long been observed that tall people display longer life spans. The current data were employed to verify this association within the bioarchaeological context. To this end, stature and its association with age-at-death were analyzed in a pooled sample of 2,923 skeletons. Height was estimated from proxy indicators based on the maximum length of the humerus, radius, femur, and tibia. Stature estimation followed the procedure outlined by Pears…
Parental effects on offspring longevity—evidence from 17th to 19th century reproductive histories
Background: Family studies provide support for a modest genetic influence on offspring life span, although the magnitude of these correlations is small.Aim: The study aimed to clarify the relative contributions of parental age at birth and overall parental longevity on offspring lifespan, and to identify the biological and cultural mechanisms.Subjects and methods: Information was derived from two village genealogies (1650–1927) encompassing 9979 …
Postponing or Rejecting Parenthood? Results of a Survey Among Female Academic Professionals
The current surge in childlessness is often seen as an alternative lifestyle amidst growing pluralism and individualism. The results of this study indicate that several subgroups of childless women need to be differentiated: those who actively decide to forgo children in favour of other life pursuits and those who merely defer the decision. Both have accumulated a high degree of human capital in their education or career-building paths. Thus, the…
More than a Leap of Faith
Using a conceptual model that integrates both social and biomedical factors of causation, this paper tries to delineate the pathways through which the reproductive characteristics of a multidenominational community are characterized. In total, 5513 historical entries from family reconstitution were available. Selection of data was guided by the inclusion of information about religious affiliation. Only married couples with children as well as sin…
God, Faith, and Death
Marked denominational mortality differentials have been documented for various time periods and geographic locations. From a historical perspective, death rates among Catholics are often found to be higher than those among Protestants or Jews. Using a conceptual model based on the life history approach, biomedical and sociocultural factors of causation are extrapolated. In total, 5513 historical entries from family reconstitution were available. …
Mandibular ramus flexure and gonial eversion as morphologic indicators of sex
Deficit of female skeletons in archaeological samples - a paleodemographic paradox
The majority of palaeodemographic analyses shows a demonstrable deficit of female skeletons in archaeological samples. The obvious question remains, whether this is merely an artifact produced by method or sample inherent deficiencies or whether this underrepresentation of females can be attributed to past sociocultural or ethnohistoric factors. Due to the overwhelming critiques and controversies surrounding palaeodemographic studies, each sample…
