Female house ownership drives the positive association between matriliny and women's health in Meghalaya (India)
Matrilineal kinship, which traces descent through the mother's lineage, has been shown to have health benefits for both women and children, but the specific practices by which matriliny enhances female health outcomes remain unclear. In this study, we analyzed the 2015 Demographic and Health Survey data from Meghalaya, India (4,109 women, 809 men, 3,197 children), a region where matrilineal and non-matrilineal communities coexist with a mixed com…

Social structure, cultural selection and the limits of adaptive plasticity
Social clustering of preference for female genital mutilation/cutting in south-central Ethiopia
Recent estimates indicate that half of Ethiopian girls aged 15-19 years have experienced female genital mutilation/cutting (FGMC). Establishing whether and how pro-FGMC norms are maintained through social transmission is a key priority for global eradication efforts. Here we present the first large-scale socio-centric social network study estimating social influence and social selection on preference for cutting female relatives using data from 5…
‘They will be like a person with a disease’
Contraceptive side effects are consistently given as the main reason why women are dissatisfied with contraception or choose not to use it. However, why some women suffer more from side effects remains unknown. Through inductive analysis of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 40 contraceptive users and 3 key informants in Central Oromia, Ethiopia, we explored women’s rationales for variation in side-effect experiences. The data f…
Anemic Women are More at Risk of Injectable Contraceptive Discontinuation due to Side Effects in Ethiopia
This paper investigates the importance of women's physiological condition, alongside sociocultural factors, for predicting the risk of discontinuation of the injectable contraceptive due to side effects in Ethiopia. Contraceptive calendar data from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey were analyzed. Women aged 15–49 who had initiated the injectable contraceptive in the last two years were included in the analysis (n = 1,513). Physiolo…

Cultural change beyond adoption dynamics
The evolutionary ecology of age at natural menopause
Stochasticity in cultural evolution
Over the last 40 years or so, there has been an explosion of cultural evolution research in anthropology and archaeology. In each discipline, cultural evolutionists investigate how interactions between individuals translate into group level patterns, with the aim of explaining the diachronic dynamics and diversity of cultural traits. However, while much attention has been given to deterministic processes (e.g. cultural transmission biases), we co…

Fertility, parental investment, and the early adoption of modern contraception in rural ethiopia
OBJECTIVES: What triggers initial shifts to fertility limitation as populations undergo socioeconomic development remains poorly understood. Alternative models emphasize the social contagion of low fertility ideals, or the individual perception of economic and/or fitness benefits to fertility limitation. Few micro-level studies in communities experiencing the earliest stages of the demographic transition are available. In a previous study, we fou…
Facial attractiveness and fertility in populations with low levels of modern birth control
Are parents' perceptions of offspring facial resemblance consistent with actual resemblance? Effects on parental investment
Human Ability to Recognize Kin Visually Within Primates
The assessment of relatedness is a key determinant in the evolution of social behavior in primates. Humans are able to detect kin visually in their own species using facial phenotypes, and facial resemblance in turn influences both prosocial behaviors and mating decisions. This suggests that cognitive abilities that allow facial kin detection in conspecifics have been favored in the species by kin selection. We investigated the extent to which hu…
