Lived experiences in action
Community health workers are crucial bridges between health systems and local populations, uniquely positioned at the intersection of personal experiences and professional duties. Yet, limited research examines how these workers' personal health decisions influence their clients' behaviours. This study addresses this gap by investigating associations between the maternal experiences of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) and perinatal heal…
Developing Cross-Cultural Data Infrastructures (CCDIs) for Research in Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences
Facilitating behavioral change
Community health worker (CHW) programs are essential for expanding health services to many areas of the world and improving uptake of recommended behaviors. One of these programs, called Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA), was initiated by the government of India in 2005 and now has a workforce of about 1 million. ASHAs primarily focus on improving maternal and child health but also support other health initiatives. Evaluations of ASHA eff…
Energy Flow and Management
Energetics is the study of how energy use, including harvest, distribution, and management, is a transforming and limiting feature of living systems. Energy must be burned to do work. As such, all work done by a society or an individual requires energy. Hence a great deal of anthropological subject matter can be understood through a lens of energetics. Although energetics is not generally considered a core anthropological topic, many prominent an…
The human post‐fertile lifespan in comparative evolutionary context
There persist two widely held but mutually inconsistent views on the evolution of post-fertile lifespan of human females. The first, prevalent within anthropology, sees post-fertile lifespan (PFLS) in the light of adaptive processes, focusing on the social and economic habits of humans that selected for a lengthy PFLS. This view rests on the assumption that human PFLS is distinct from that of other species, and focuses on quantifying the selectiv…
Life in the slow lane revisited
This study investigates the evolution of human growth by analyzing differences in body mass growth trajectories among three populations: the Ache of eastern Paraguay, the US (NHANES, 1999–2000), and captive chimpanzees. The relative growth statistic “A” from the mammalian growth law is allowed to vary with age and proves useful for comparing growth across different ages, populations, and species. We demonstrate ontogenetic separation between chim…
Evolution of brain size and juvenile periods in primates
The prey as patch model
Multi-Scale and Nested-Intensity Sampling Techniques for Archaeological Survey
This paper discusses sampling techniques for archaeological survey that are directed toward evaluating the properties of surface artifact distributions. The sampling techniques we experimented with consist of a multi-scale sampling plot developed in plant ecology and the use of a nested-intensity survey design. We present results from the initial application of these methods. The sampling technique we borrowed from plant ecology is the Modified-W…
