Gaze in context
Primate eyes vary strikingly in pigmentation, yet the drivers of said variation are strongly debated. Recent revisions of the cooperative eye hypothesis propose that the human eye’s sclera evolved to enhance gaze communication specifically under challenging conditions of visibility. We tested this idea under ecologically realistic conditions by presenting observers with a live model wearing contact lenses that simulated either a human-like or a c…
Proximity Contacts and Self-perceived Vulnerability to Diseases Among High School Students – A Preliminary Study
In recent years there has been much research regarding the extent to which behavioural immune system (BIS; behavioural responses that evolved to detect and avoid pathogens) is related to a variation in social profile and personality traits such as extroversion among individuals. However, most research on the relationship between BIS and sociality is based on short-term experimental studies and thus little is known about the degree to which BIS is…
The Concentration of Docosahexaenoic Acid ( DHA ) and Arachidonic Acid ( AA ) in Human Milk Is Associated With the Size of Maternal Social Network
INTRODUCTION: Social factors, such as kin and non-kin support in helping the mother of a newborn baby, impact the duration of lactation and may affect human milk composition. Recent studies suggest that maternal stress negatively affects the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids in human milk, which are crucial for infant vision and brain development. We suggest that social support may have the potential to attenuate a negative effect of stress on…
Height and integration in proximity networks among Tanzanian Hadza men
In recent years there has been much interest in investigating the extent to which social status or prestige are related to an individual's degree of integration in social networks. It has been shown that, among hunter‐gatherers, social characteristics of an individual based on social status or prestige, such foraging reputation, friendship popularity, and pro‐social reputation, can influence the extent to which an individual is embedded in a soci…
Sex estimation using measurements of the proximal femur in a historical population from Poland
Sex estimation is one of the most important components in assessing the biological profile of an individual. In an archaeological context, the pelvis, which is the most dimorphic part of the skeleton, is often poorly preserved, which can cause an inability to use morphological sex estimation methods. Therefore, alternative methods are required in such cases. Because the utility of the metric methods based on the femur measurement has been confirm…
Comparison of Skinfold Thickness Measured by Caliper and Ultrasound Scanner in Normative Weight Women
Obesity is a major issue affecting not only adults but also children in many places of the world. There are numerous methods for estimating the body fat percentage, however, all of those methods are different in terms of availability, accuracy, and the cost of an individual examination. The aim of this study was to compare two relatively easy and widespread measurement methods for assessing skinfold thickness: the BodyMetrix BX2000 ultrasound mac…
Antenatal Classes in the Context of Prenatal Anxiety and Depression during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Perinatal maternal anxiety and depression negatively affect intrauterine fetal development, birth outcome, breastfeeding initiation, duration, and milk composition. Antenatal classes potentially reduce the anxiety of pregnant women and may thus contribute to healthy infant development. The study investigates the relationship between participation in online or in-person antenatal classes and levels of anxiety and depression in Polish women during …
Evolutionary origins of music. Classical and recent hypotheses
The aim of this paper is to review recent hypotheses on the evolutionary origins of music in Homo sapiens, taking into account the most influential traditional hypotheses. To date, theories derived from evolution have focused primarily on the importance that music carries in solving detailed adaptive problems. The three most influential theoretical concepts have described the evolution of human music in terms of 1) sexual selection, 2) the format…
The relationship between perceived friendship and proximity networks among Tanzanian Hadza
In humans, measures of social integration are usually based on self-reported friendships and interview-derived data. However, such measures do not take into account the actual number of social contacts an individual has, a variable that has been shown to have significant impacts on an individual's health and well-being. In recent years advances in 'bio-logging' - an automated system that registers an individual's (physical) position relative to o…
Shifts in Female Facial Attractiveness during Pregnancy
It has been proposed that women's physical attractiveness is a cue to temporal changes in fertility. If this is the case, we should observe shifts in attractiveness during pregnancy-a unique physiological state of temporal infertility. The aim of this study was to examine how women's facial attractiveness changes during the subsequent trimesters of pregnancy and how it compares to that of nonpregnant women. Sixty-six pictures of pregnant women (2…
A cross‐cultural study of sex‐typicality and averageness
OBJECTIVES: Facial averageness and sexual dimorphism are extensively studied attractiveness markers, which are viewed as possible indicators of biological quality. Both are complex morphological traits, and both can be easily assessed from frontal and lateral projection of a human face. Interestingly, examination of mutual relations between the frontal and lateral dimensions of these markers has so far received little attention in published resea…
Facial attractiveness and lip morphology of Caucasian women
Human lips are one of the most sexually dimorphic facial features. Although lip morphology is considered particularly important for female facial attractiveness no systematic empirical study has been conducted in this respect. This study aimed to investigate a relationship between female Caucasian facial attractiveness and their lip morphology. Two series of morphologically average composite portraits with digitally increased and decreased lip wi…
Effect of marital distance on birth weight and length of offspring
Marital distance (MD), the geographical distance between birthplaces of spouses, is considered an agent favouring occurrence of heterosis and can be used as a measure of its level. Heterosis itself is a phenomenon of hybrid vigour and seems to be an important factor regulating human growth and development. The main aim of the study is to examine potential effects of MD on birth weight and length of offspring, controlling for socioeconomic status …
Does age difference really matter? Facial markers of biological quality and age difference between husband and wife
Overweight trends among Polish schoolchildren before and after the transition from communism to capitalism
Self-perceived sociosexuality and mate value asymmetry in heterosexual romantic relationships
Previous works have shown that sociosexuality may affect mate choice and correspond to partners’ mate value (MV). However, there is a lack of studies that directly show how a difference between both partners’ mate values (MVD) relates to reproductive strategies. In this study we investigated a possible link between self-reported measures of individual differences in human mating strategies (SOI-R) and self-perceived mate value asymmetry (differen…

The Second to Fourth Digit Ratio and Age at First Marriage in Semi-Nomadic People from Namibia
The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is used as a potential marker for prenatal androgen exposure. It is associated with many behavioral and biological variables, including fertility and sexual behavior. However, direct association between 2D:4D and reproductive success--in populations where no contraceptives are used--has not been investigated. Here, we present a study conducted among the semi-nomad Himba population living in northern Namibi…
Isolation by distance between spouses and its effect on children's growth in height
Heterosis is thought to be an important contributor to human growth and development. Marital distance (distance between parental birthplaces) is commonly considered as a factor favoring the occurrence of heterosis and can be used as a proximate measure of its level. The aim of this study is to assess the net effect of expected heterosis resulting from marital migration on the height of offspring, controlling for midparental height and socioeconom…
The Attractive Female Body Weight and Female Body Dissatisfaction in 26 Countries Across 10 World Regions
This study reports results from the first International Body Project (IBP-I), which surveyed 7,434 individuals in 10 major world regions about body weight ideals and body dissatisfaction. Participants completed the female Contour Drawing Figure Rating Scale (CDFRS) and self-reported their exposure to Western and local media. Results indicated there were significant cross-regional differences in the ideal female figure and body dissatisfaction, bu…
The influence of skin tone, body weight, and hair colour on perceptions of women's attractiveness and health
This study investigated the role of skin tone, hair colour, and body weight in perceptions of women's physical attractiveness and health. Four-hundred and thirty-six women and 423 men in eight distinct national settings on three continents rated a series of 18 female line drawings that varied in three levels of skin tone, two levels of hair colour, and three levels of body weight. Results showed significant cross-cultural differences in what was …
