Gordon W. Hewes (1917‐1997)
Gordon Winant Hewes was an anthropologist whose interests embraced the four traditional subdisciplines of anthropology and extended well beyond.In his teaching, in his research, and in his scholarly writing, Hewes provided clear validation at the [xjrsonal level of anthropology's claim to a "holistic" approach to the examination and explanation of culture and human behavior.Bom in San Francisco and reared in southern California, the only child of…

The concept of the household
Stone handling by Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)
Household Economics and Hominid Origins [and Comments and Reply]
Between 4 and 6 million years ago forces were gathering which transformed a group of quadrupedal individual foraging protohominids into one or more species of bipedal food-sharing hominids. Recently, several scientific subfields have contributed new insights and new pieces of information which, when fitted together by different scholars, present us with a confusing picture of how the transformation might have taken place. This paper examines some…
Family economics in the pliocene
How can sperm competition work
A random draw form of sperm competition has been suggested as a reproductive strategy, alternative to direct aggressive competition, in chimpanzee evolution. We note that individual reproductive competition involves complexly related social behavioral and physiological components, so that care must be exercised in setting forth logically distinct categories of reproductive strategies. We recognize the heuristic value of simplifying models but que…
Mindscapes and Science Theories [and Comments and Reply]
Four causal metatypes in science theories correspond to four cognitive/cogitative/perceptual types which vary from individual to individual. In any given culture, all individual types exist, but their percentage distribution varies from culture to culture. The four metatypes are (1) nonreciprocal causality (either probabilistic or deterministic), (2) independent events as most basic, (3) reciprocal causal loops, change-counteracting (either proba…
Aunts and Mothers
Explanations of the function of behavior directed toward young primates by conspecifc females other than the mother have emphasized variow outcomes beneficial to "aunts, I' mothers, infants, or some combination thereof. There is little evidence, however, that allomothering benefits mothers or infants to any signifcant degree; allomothering is selfish behavior with highly variable consequences roughly predzctable on the basis of genealogical ties …
Social Norms, the Self, and Sociobiology
A. I. Hallowell tried to turn anthropology towards a sociobiology while the former field was still strongly opposed to any consideration of the evolution of human behavior. His work is of more than historical interest, however, because he stressed the evolution of the human ability to internalize social norms and evaluate self and others in terms of them. This ability is the basis of our species's trait of cultural rather than biological adaptati…
