Courtship in cross-sex friendship
Friendship and the architecture of alliance detection
A cue-based approach to sociometer theory
Self-esteem is hypothesized to be an evolved psychological system that monitors and responds to cues to one's own relational value. Here, we employ a novel, cue-based approach to generate and test the hypothesis that self-esteem tracks specific, fitness-relevant morphological features. Specifically , we investigated whether females' self-esteem systematically varies as a function of their waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and lumbar curvature (LC). Partic…
Greek Slavery and Honour
good reason. 1 The lexicon of slavery in Greek is extensive, and the precise meanings of these terms have been the subject of debate since antiquity (e.g.Athen.Deip.6, 262b-275b; Poll.Onom.3.73-83). 2If that were not complicated enough, the most common of Greek slave words, doulos, along with its derivatives (e.g.doulosyn, douleia, doulios, doulikos, doulopreps etc.) and antonym (eleutheros), can equally be said to have had altogether too many us…
Intrasexual Selection for Upper Limb Length in Homo sapiens
OBJECTIVES: Sexual selection via contest competition has equipped countless organisms with weaponry in their appendages to overpower their opponents. Here, we tested (1) whether greater upper limb length-measured as span controlling for biacromial width-confers an advantage in contest competition among adult humans, (2) several possible means by which upper limb length might increase success in intrasexual contest competition, and (3) whether, co…
Lordosis in Humans
Despite progress in attractiveness research, we have yet to identify many fitness-relevant cues in the human phenotype or humans’ psychology for responding to them. Here, we test hypotheses about psychological systems that may have evolved to process distinct cues in the female lumbar region. The Fetal Load Hypothesis proposes a male preference for a morphological cue: lumbar curvature. The Lordosis Detection Hypothesis posits context-dependent m…
(In)Alienable Worth? Cultural Logics of Dignity, Honor, and Face and their Links to Prosociality Across the World
Cultural logic is a set of cultural scripts and patterns organized around a central theme. The cultural logics of dignity, honor, and face describe different ways of evaluating a person’s worth and maintaining cooperation. These cultural logics vary in prevalence across cultures. In this study, we collaboratively develop and validate a measure capturing these cultural logics, which will allow us to map world cultures based on the prevalence of th…

Disgust sensitivity relates to attitudes toward gay men and lesbian women across 31 nations
Previous work has reported a relation between pathogen-avoidance motivations and prejudice toward various social groups, including gay men and lesbian women. It is currently unknown whether this association is present across cultures, or specific to North America. Analyses of survey data from adult heterosexuals ( N = 11,200) from 31 countries showed a small relation between pathogen disgust sensitivity (an individual-difference measure of pathog…

The Handicap Principle
Introduction and Brief History of the Issue
This book presents a case for radically reassessing our picture of ancient Greek slavery in its contemporary Mediterranean context. The standard view in classical scholarship holds that Greece (by which Athens is usually meant) and Rome were the only ‘genuine slave societies’ of the ancient world. Failing to attain to this dubious honour, other ancient slave systems (often labelled ‘societies with slaves’) thus recede into the background, with tw…
Slave Societies, Societies with Slaves
This chapter analyses the common distinction in slavery studies between ‘slave societies’ and ‘societies with slaves’. It looks at the various proposals for how to conceptualize these categories, and considers their relative advantages and disadvantages. It shows how a mechanical application of this approach will invariably result in a black-and-white picture, and that this approach fails to take into consideration differing levels of knowledge a…
The Riddle of Freedom
This chapter looks at the concept of freedom and its articulation in ancient Greek texts. It shows that in the Homeric period, the terminology of slavery and freedom was used only for personal status. In the centuries that followed, these terms were appropriated and applied metaphorically to a variety of asymmetrical power relationships. However, Greeks were able to maintain clear distinctions between slavery as a legal concept and slavery as a m…
Ownership and the Articulation of Slave Status in Greek and Near Eastern Legal Practice
This chapter reviews the various approaches scholars have taken to defining slavery in a global perspective. It proceeds to set out a legal methodology for understanding slave status in comparative perspective. It engages with several critiques of this approach, showing how they are misplaced and reaffirming the importance of legal ownership to the definition of slavery. Two case studies are provided to give empirical confirmation of this theoret…
Evolutionary psychology
Researchers in the social and behavioral sciences are increasingly using evolutionary insights to test novel hypotheses about human psychology. Because evolutionary perspectives are relatively new to psychology and most researchers do not receive formal training in this endeavor, there remains ambiguity about "best practices" for implementing evolutionary principles. This article provides researchers with a practical guide for using evolutionary …

Parasite stress and pathogen avoidance relate to distinct dimensions of political ideology across 30 nations
Significance Pathogens, and antipathogen behavioral strategies, affect myriad aspects of human behavior. Recent findings suggest that antipathogen strategies relate to political attitudes, with more ideologically conservative individuals reporting more disgust toward pathogen cues, and with higher parasite stress nations being, on average, more conservative. However, no research has yet adjudicated between two theoretical accounts proposed to exp…
Lumbar curvature
Disgust and mating strategy
An evolutionary task analysis predicts a connection between disgust and human mating, two important but currently disconnected areas of psychology. Because short-term mating strategies involve sex with multiple partners after brief temporal durations, such a strategy should be difficult to pursue in conjunction with high levels of sexual disgust. On this basis, we hypothesized that individuals with a stronger proclivity for short-term mating woul…

The Decrees of the Greek States
The many states of the ancient greek world were governed by small councils and assemblies of adult male citizens. The decisions of these bodies took the form of decrees. This book collects the evidence for decrees, many of which were inscribed on stone or metal, or appear in literary texts - either directly quoted, or indirectly reported. This evidence is used by Professor Rhodes, with Professor Lewis, to study the decision-making procedures of t…

Prisoners' Dilemma Is a Newcomb Problem
This paper argues that, considered as puzzles about rationality, the Prisoners’ Dilemma and Newcomb's Problem are essentially one and the same problem.
The tyranny of the Pisistratidae
Pisistratus died in spring 527, but tyranny survived at Athens until 510. Pisistratus left three legitimate sons, Hippias, Hipparchus and Thessalus. Pisistratus' notion of tyranny had certainly included efforts to reach friendly relations with atleast some noble families and there is one clear case of his having recalled an exile, Cimon, towards the end of his life. For his sons' relationships with the nobles, little material existed until the pu…
The Thirty Years' Peace
A mission to Athens from the Persian commanders is followed by an Athenian embassy headed by Callias son of Hipponicus and by a settlement. In the years immediately following the Cyprus expedition, Thucydides reports only one pair of events, a Spartan expedition to Delphi, which entrusted the shrine to the Delphians, followed by an Athenian counter expedition handing it over to the Phocians. The Chersonese had been subject to a prolonged period o…
Cappadocia
Here politeuma has the same meaning as polis’. Robert 476-8. Does ‘in accordance with the vote that has taken place in the council and the assembly’ refer to this decree or to an earlier stage in the proceedings? I suspect it refers to this decree; Robert does not discuss the question.
Pisidia
Among the texts from Pisidia, from Termessus I note one text of the second century which refers to autonomy, freedom, and democracy (2), and one which contains an entrenchment clause threatening offenders with a curse (1).
Crete
Philosophers and other writers extrapolated from the practice of the many states of Crete to discuss ‘the Cretan constitution’, which they compared with the Spartan constitution. As in the case of Sparta, there are problems in reconciling these general accounts with the evidence for what actually happened.
