  • Verständigungsbarrieren zwischen kulturalistischen Sozialwissenschaften und evolutionärer Anthropologie

    Open AccessE Voland, Christoph MeißelbachARTICLEKZfSS Kölner Zeitschrift für…2021Citada por: 1Referências: 42

    Kommunikation und Kooperation zwischen sozialwissenschaftlicher und evolutionär-anthropologischer Forschung ist durch einige Verständigungsbarrieren erschwert. In diesem Beitrag werden die wichtigsten dieser Probleme systematisch geordnet und auf die folgenden Fragen hin analysiert: Wo stehen der Annäherung sozialwissenschaftlicher und evolutionär informierter Anthropologie nur Missverständnisse, Falschauffassungen oder ideologisches Misstrauen i…

  • Effects of Individual Mortality Experience on Out-of-Wedlock Fertility in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Krummhörn, Germany

    Open AccessKatharina E Pink, Kai P Willführ et al.ARTICLEHuman Nature2020Referências: 57

    Life history theory predicts that exposure to high mortality in early childhood leads to faster and riskier reproductive strategies. Individuals who grew up in a high mortality regime will not overly wait until they find a suitable partner and form a stable union because premature death would prevent them from reproducing. Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine whether women who experienced sibling death during early childhood (0-5…

  • Why does paternal death accelerate the transition to first marriage in the C18-C19 Krummhörn population?

    Open AccessE Voland, Kai P WillführARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2017

    Among the population of the Krummhörn region (Ostfriesland, Germany) in the 18th and 19th centuries, the death of the father in the family led on average to the accelerated marriage of his children. Three evolutionary explanations are offered for this “paternal absence” effect in the literature: namely, (i) the assumption of an adaptive “psychosocial acceleration” of the children with prepubertal experience of uncertainty; (ii) an opportunistic a…

  • The consequences of sibling formation on survival and reproductive success across different ecological contexts

    Jonathan Fox, Jonathan F Fox et al.ARTICLEThe History of the Family2016Citada por: 8Referências: 12

    This article investigates the relationship between additional siblings and the probability of offspring survival, marriage, and fertility across the historical populations of the St Lawrence Valley in Quebec (1670–1799) and the Krummhörn region in Germany (1720–1874). Both populations existed in agriculturally based economies, but differ in important ways. The Krummhörn population faced a fixed supply of land, which was concentrated amongst a sma…

  • The biological evolution of conscience – from parent-offspring conflict to morality

    Open AccessE VolandARTICLEAnthropological Review2014

    In this paper, two theories regarding the biological evolution of morality with conscience as its central regulatory agency are compared and contrasted. One theory (“navigator theory”) interprets conscience as a strategically operating agency for the optimum balance between selfish and altruistic behavioral tendencies to maximize gains in cooperation in view of social complexity. From this standpoint, conscience serves the evolved self-interest o…

  • Evolutionary psychology meets history

    E VolandCHAPTEROxford handbook of evolutionary…2012

    The genealogical data of family reconstitution studies is of interest to research inspired by Darwinian theory primarily for two reasons. First, they contain personal data and not highly aggregated statistics, such as are typically analysed in demography. Therefore, the individual- and family-oriented structure of the records permits analysis of the variation within populations. Second, family reconstitution studies achieve a temporal depth with …

  • Conditional Grandmother Effects on Age at Marriage, Age at First Birth, and Completed Fertility of Daughters and Daughters-in-law in Historical Krummhörn

  • Intrafamilial resource competition and mate competition shaped social‐group‐specific natal dispersal in the 18th and 19th century Krummhörn population

    Open AccessJan Beise, E VolandARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2008

    We describe the natal dispersal patterns of the Krummhörn population as the outcome of intrafamilial competition. Depending on the affiliation with a specific social group and the sex of the individual, this competition is driven by different factors and obeys a different functional logic: The dispersal patterns of the daughters of landless workers allow a mate competition scenario to be detected, whereas the dispersal behavior of the children of…

  • Lernen — Die Grundlegung der Pädagogik in evolutionärer Charakterisierung

    E VolandCHAPTERBiowissenschaft und Erziehungswisse…2006

    Dieser Beitrag liefert Anregungen zu einem konsequent naturalistischen Verständnis des Lernens auf der Basis evolutionärer Theorie. Danach lässt sich Lernen als die Ausführung genetischer Programme interpretieren. Aus der adaptiven Spezialisierung der Informationsverarbeitung im Gehirn folgt, dass nicht Beliebiges gelernt werden kann, sondern das gelernt wird, auf das der Mensch naturgemäß eingestellt ist. Lernen vollzieht adaptive Einpassungen u…

  • Differential infant mortality viewed from an evolutionary biological perspective

    Jan Beise, E VolandARTICLEThe History of the Family2002Citada por: 7Referências: 6

    Evidence from family reconstitution studies suggests that variations in infant mortality may reflect differences in parental solicitude. For various proximate reasons that might originate from emotional, material or social interests, parents may be inclined to invest differently in the survival of their offspring. Evolutionary theory holds that the behavior-regulating mechanisms that cause differential parental care operate in a biologically func…

  • A multilevel event history analysis of the effects of grandmothers on child mortality in a historical German population

    Open AccessJan Beise, E VolandARTICLEDemographic Research2002Citada por: 14

    We analyzed data from the historic population of the Krummhörn (Ostfriesland, Germany, 1720-1874) to determine the effects of grandparents in general and grandmothers in particular on child mortality. Multilevel event-history models were used to test h

  • Infanticide by Males and its Implications

    Open AccessCarel Van Schaik, Sarah Hrdy et al.BOOKInfanticide by Males and Its…2000

    Male primates, carnivores and rodents sometimes kill infants that they did not sire. Infanticide by males is a relatively common phenomenon in these groups, but tends to be rare in any given species. Is this behavior pathological or accidental, or does it reflect a conditional reproductive strategy for males in certain circumstances? In this book, case studies and reviews confirm the adaptive nature of infanticide in males in primates, and help t…

  • Contributions of family reconstitution studies to evolutionary reproductive ecology

    Open AccessE VolandARTICLEEvolutionary Anthropology Issues…2000

    The method of family reconstitution has many fathers. About 100 years ago, the first pioneers began to edit a unique depository of European history, namely the church registers, with their data on vital events, which had been kept since early modern times. The aim was to compile the entries in a family-centered way, making accessible a name-based (nominative) evaluation of the data. Since then, thousands of amateur researchers interested in eithe…

  • Evolutionary Ecology of Human Reproduction

    E VolandARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology1998Citada por: 64Referências: 119

    Evolutionary ecology of human reproduction is defined as the application of natural selection theory to the study of human reproductive strategies and decision-making in an ecological context. The basic Darwinian assumption is that humans-like all other organisms-are designed to maximize their inclusive fitness within the ecological constraints to which they are exposed. Life history theory, which identifies trade-off problems in reproductive inv…

  • The Impact of Social Status and Migration on Female Age at Marriage in an Historical Population in North-West Germany

    Open AccessE Voland, R I M DunbarARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1997

    It has been suggested that parish-based reconstitution studies may underestimate the true age at marriage because they do not normally include data for emigrants who may be expected to behave differently from individuals who remain in their natal parishes. This study uses data from C18-19th parish registers of north-west Germany to estimate the difference in age at marriage between leavers and stayers. The difference is not significant for males;…
