Demographic adversities and Indigenous resilience in Western Alaska
Indigenous peoples in the Arctic have historically experienced a broad range of demographic and ecological adversities, the impacts of which sometimes included high mortalities and population dislocations. The anthropological literature has tended to emphasise the dramatic, negative impacts of such events on human groups-to an extent that implies the fabric of social life was typically devastated. This study takes a markedly different perspective…
Existential and object authenticity in Southwestern pottery
A much discussed concept, authenticity is still very important to collectors and museums in 2013 with respect to Native American art, but few have examined the dynamic between artist and buyer in relation to how concepts of authenticity affect the exchange. Useful here is a constructivist approach that examines authenticity with respect to local perceptions, values and setting. Existential authenticity is revealed through statements by the potter…
Technical note
Osteologists commonly assess the sex of skeletal remains found in forensic and archaeological contexts based on ordinal scores of subjectively assessed sexually dimorphic traits. Using known‐sex samples, logistic regression (LR) discriminant functions have been recently developed, which allow sex probabilities to be determined. A limitation of LR is that it emphasizes main effects and not interactions. Chi‐square automatic interaction detection (…
Immunoglobulin allotypes in Southwest Asia
Southwest Asia has a long history of contact with Central Asian and with Sub‐Saharan African populations. Is the genetic structure of these populations reflective of these historical facts? To study this, data was generated on the immunoglobulin heavy chain (GM) and light chain (KM) allotypes from seven Arab and three non‐Arab populations in SW Asia to examine the relationship of these populations to SE European, NW Indian, Sub‐Saharan African, a…
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and digit ratios in a college sample
Diagnosticians recognize three subtypes of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) if there are developmentally inappropriate levels (six or more symptoms) of Hyperactive‐Impulsive behavior, or Inattentive behavior, or both (Combined), respectively. ADHD may partly reflect androgen dysfunction, and an arguable proxy for prenatal androgen exposure is the 2D:4D finger ratio set at least as early as week 9 in the fetus; this is lower in men …

Attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder and fluctuating asymmetry in another college sample
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) represents a developmental lag that may be reflected in fluctuating asymmetry (FA), i.e., differences from perfect symmetry in traits that display bilateral symmetry. Burton et al. ( 2003 Am. J. Hum. Biol. 15: 601–619) found a statistical trend for FA to increase (as dermatoglyphic index or as total index) as the behavioral measure for AD/HDness (Rasch logit values derived from the Wender Utah Rati…

Reproductive Measures, Fitness, and Migrating Mennonites
Given the same reproductive span, more children with shorter interbirth intervals and less parental attention per child should not do as well. There should be intermediate optima in family sizes, but only two studies have demonstrated optima. The goal here is to determine whether the relationship between fitness and fertility is linear and whether this relationship masks underlying variation in reproductive behaviors in a Mennonite congregation t…

Attention‐Deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in a college sample
Departures from normal development can be partly assessed by measuring fluctuating asymmetry (FA), that is, differences from perfect symmetry in traits that display bilateral symmetry. Attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), one of the most common psychiatric conditions, is diagnosed if there are developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The objective here is to measure whether AD/HD behaviors …

Immunoglobulin allotypes in Jewish populations living in Israel and the United States
The ongoing interest in the interrelationships of Jewish populations justifies inclusion of the immunoglobulin allotypes in an ethnohistorical analysis. A total of 2,184 serum specimens obtained from unrelated Israeli Jewish and self‐identified Milwaukee, WI, Jewish blood donors were classified as Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Asiatic, or North African and tested for G1m (a, x, z, and f), G3m (b0, b1, b3, b5, g), A2m (1 and 2), and Km (1). Selected sera w…
Distribution of HLA antigens in Polish and German populations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Gene and haplotype frequencies for HLA‐A and HLA‐B antigens were determined in Milwaukee blood donors of German and Polish descent. Gene frequencies for A25 and B18 were significantly higher in Poles than in Germans. Significant gametic associations were noted for A1‐B8, A29‐B12 and AW30‐B13 in both populations. Gametic association for A3‐B7 was only found in Germans, while the A25‐B18 haplotype frequency was significantly increased in Poles. Sin…

The cultural context of fertility transition in immigrant Mennonites
Introduction In the 1870s, Mennonites from the village of Alexanderwohl in the Ukraine Molotschna Colony immigrated to the United States and settled in choice farming areas around Goessel and Meridian, Kansas, and Henderson, Nebraska (McQuillan, 1978; Crawford & Rogers, 1982; Stevenson et al ., 1989; see Figure 5.1). They arrived with large families to a country already in the midst of fertility decline (Vinovskis, 1981), and within one generatio…
Changes in fertility relative to starting, stopping, and spacing behaviors in a migrating Mennonite community, 1775-1889
Fertility change over time in a migrating Mennonite church congregation is reconstructed through genealogies developed from church registries of vital events during 1725-1924. The congregation was located in Prussia from 1725-1821, in Russia from 1822-1874, and in Kansas, U.S.A., from 1875-1924. Age-specific marital fertility rates were relatively low and usually peaked for women aged 25-29. Total fertility rates ranged from 1.19 to 5.29. These r…

Birth intervals and early childhood mortality in a migrating Mennonite community
Short birth intervals are associated with increased mortality in challenging settings, and the objective here was to explore the significance of birth spacing relative to the neonatal, postneonatal, and early childhood mortality for rural Mennonites from one congregation in two settings: Russia, 1825–1874, and Kansas, 1875–1924, in light of two causal mechanisms: maternal depletion and sibling competition. Vital events of families reconstructed f…
