Demography in biological anthropology
The fact of human evolution is evident in the biological variation caused by the pattern of lines of descent. Theories of human evolution are the explanations of the fertility and mortality differentials that determine patterns of variation at the subspecific level. Migrations also influence the patterns. Because human beings plan migrations and marriages, theories relying solely on selective advantage and gene diffusion do not fully account for …
Relationship between mother's age and health care received by the firstborn child
Data from a British national study of all children born in one week of 1958 were used to test whether there was any relationship between the age of the mother at the time of the birth of her first child and the health care received by the child up to 7 years of age. This relationship was tested before and after statistically removing the effects of several potentially confounding social factors (social class, education level, and housing faciliti…
Birth Order and Health Status in a British National Sample
Analysis of British National Child Development Study data corroborates the long held views that first born children tend to get more medical surveillance than those of later birth order, and that there is a direct relationship between achieved family size and social status.
Mother's age, birth order and health status in a British national sample
Using data from a longitudinal study of a national sample of British children, it is shown that mother's age and experience with child rearing are related to the attention paid to the child's health. Younger mothers, whose children are usually the first born, tend to be more concerned with health care facility use than are older mothers of children born subsequently. Younger mothers more often take their child to infant and toddler clinics, and a…
Biosocial correlates of asthma in a national sample of young adults
As the participants in the 1958 National Child Development Study cohort enter adulthood most of the social factors associated with onset of asthma are no longer relevant, but many of the biological factors continue to be important. There is a continuing association at age 23 between eczema, hayfever and similar allergic reactions and continuing asthma, while the earlier associated social factors including non-manual occupations, home ownership, a…
Varying Biosocial Correlates of Asthma and Wheezy Bronchitis
The British National Child Development Study has followed everyone born in one week in 1958 in England, Wales, and Scotland at varying intervals since birth. Examination of the data from this study has permitted analysis of differences between those diagnosed with wheezy bronchitis and those with asthma at ages 7 and 11. Among the 15,398 individuals at age 7 and the 15,303 at age 11, 446 (449 at 11) had asthma and 2,488 (1,194 at 11) had wheezy b…

Biosocial factors in the epidemiology of childhood asthma in a British national sample
The relation between biosocial factors and childhood asthma in a British national sample (n = greater than 14 000) is examined. The presence of asthma was found to associate with sex of the child, parental age and occupation, housing type, and overcrowding as well as eczema and some infectious diseases. Discriminant analysis showed that it was possible to differentiate between asthmatics and non-asthmatics due mainly to allergy related factors
English Place-Name Surnames Tend to Cluster Near the Place Named
Some English surnames that are identical with place names arose at or near the place named and gradually spread from there. For instance, McKinley has carefully plotted the Medieval history and subsequent spread of several names that derived from towns in Yorkshire; however, only about 40% of places were uniquely named at that time, and names were often changed before regular inheritance become usual. 1 These difficulties are especially severe in…

Communality of surnames
The upper part of the Alpine valley of the Varaita (population about 1,596) has three communities situated in a triangle about 6 km on a side but divided into frazioni (clusters of houses) that form a “Y” along the road and river in the valley floor. The coefficient of relationship (Ri) based on the communality of surnames between pairs of frazioni and between pairs of the communities shows very high levels of interrelationship (up to 0.26 compar…

Why Exceptions? The Logic of Cross-Cultural Analysis [and Comments and Reply]
This paper discusses the factors causing exceptions to rules in the social sciences in general and in social anthropology in particular. Exceptions may occur through defective classification by ethnologists. For example, the ethnologist may define the phenomena under consideration poorly. The importance of using operational definitions must therefore be stressed. He may class phenomena in the same category without making sure that their frequency…
