Diversifying Methods in Evolutionary Anthropology
A comprehensive evolutionary account of human behavior demands simultaneous consideration of biology, local ecology, and culture. Historically, evolutionary anthropology integrated these dimensions through naturalistic observations which offered direct insight into how behaviors unfold within everyday settings. However, in many contemporary contexts, traditional observations are impractical due to challenges in accessing private spaces, contribut…
Adolescence as a Key Period of Identity Development and Connectedness
Adolescence is identified as a key period for identity development, but anthropological literature hints at cross-cultural variations. Past research suggests Japanese adolescents may experience more identity exploration/confusion compared to Western counterparts, but the reasons behind these findings remain unclear. This comparative study investigates how adolescents in England and Japan perceive and engage with their environments, and aims to id…
Human musical capacity and products should have been induced by the hominin-specific combination of several biosocial features
Various selection pressures have shaped human uniqueness, for instance, music. When and why did musical universality and diversity emerge? Our hypothesis is that "music" initially originated from manipulative calls with limited musical elements. Thereafter, vocalizations became more complex and flexible along with a greater degree of social learning. Finally, constructed musical instruments and the language faculty resulted in diverse and context…
Human Behavioral Ecology
A panel data analysis of the probability of childbirth in a J apanese sample
OBJECTIVES: To reveal the conditions that could facilitate childbirth in modern humans, it is necessary to analyze not only cross-sectional surveys but also panel data that track the same person for a long period. In this study, we analyzed factors that would influence the probability of childbirth. METHODS: We analyzed Japanese panel data with a Cox proportional hazard model. Subjects of our analysis were married women and their childbirth recor…
