  • Introducing the Anthropology of Adolescence

    Emily H Emmott, Benjamin Theobald et al.ARTICLE2025

    Adolescence is widely recognised as a key life stage, yet its meaning and experience remain under-explored due to the complex interplay between biological and social transformations. While researchers across fields such as psychology and public health increasingly frame adolescence as a “critical period,” anthropology offers distinctive insights that challenge simplistic and reductionist accounts. This special issue introduces the Anthropology of…

  • The fitness costs and benefits of hunter-gatherer locomotor engagement

    Open AccessGeorge Brill, M DybleARTICLEEvolutionary Human Sciences2025

    Bipedalism is a distinguishing feature of our species and, as such, there has been much interest in the energetic costs and foraging returns of walking and running, especially among hunter-gatherer societies. However, humans routinely exhibit extensive locomotor versatility, with hunter-gatherers consistently also swimming, diving, and climbing. Additionally, the fitness costs and benefits of locomotion extend well beyond energy income and expend…

  • Hunter–Gatherer children's close-proximity networks

    Open AccessNikhill Chaudhary, A E Page et al.ARTICLEEvolutionary Human Sciences2024References: 13

    Among vertebrates, allomothering (non-maternal care) is classified as cooperative breeding (help from sexually mature non-breeders, usually close relatives) or communal breeding (shared care between multiple breeders who are not necessarily related). Humans have been described with both labels, most frequently as cooperative breeders. However, few studies have quantified the relative contributions of allomothers according to whether they are (a) …

  • Relatedness within and between Agta residential groups

    Open AccessM Dyble, Andrea Bamberg Migliano et al.ARTICLEEvolutionary Human Sciences2021Cited by: 3References: 9

    Theoretical models relating to the evolution of human behaviour usually make assumptions about the kinship structure of social groups. Since humans were hunter–gatherers for most of our evolutionary history, data on the composition of contemporary hunter–gatherer groups has long been used to inform these models. Although several papers have taken a broad view of hunter–gatherer social organisation, it is also useful to explore data from single po…

  • Sex equality can explain the unique social structure of hunter-gatherer bands

    Open AccessM Dyble, G D Salali et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    Friends and family? Evolutionary theory stresses the importance of living with kin, not least because they share some of our genes. Nevertheless, a large-scale assessment of contemporary hunter-gatherer societies has established a consistent pattern of unrelated individuals living together. Dyble et al. used a modeling approach to suggest that a possible answer to this conundrum is that cohabitation choices are being governed equally by men and w…
