Genetic, geographic, and environmental correlates of human temporal bone variation.
Temporal bone shape has been shown to reflect molecular phylogenetic relationships among hominoids and offers significant morphological detail for distinguishing taxa. Although it is generally accepted that temporal bone shape, like other aspects of morphology, has an underlying genetic component, the relative influence of genetic and environmental factors is unclear. To determine the impact of...
متن کاملCompatibility of Mating Preferences
Human mating is a complex phenomenon. Although men and women have different preferences in mate selection, there should be compatibility in these preferences since human mating requires agreement of both parties. We investigate how compatible the mating preferences of men and women are in a given property such as age, height, education and income. We use dataset of a large online dating site (N...
متن کاملControl of Mating Preferences in Mice By
While observing AKR and AKR backcross mice being bred to produce an AKR-H-2 b congenic mouse strain, one of us (J. B.) noticed that homozygous H2 b c~ d were more attracted to heterozygous H-2 O:H-2 k ? Q than to H-2 b homozygous Q Q. Meanwhile another of us (L. T.), unaware of these observations, arrived at the theoretical conclusion that histocompatibility antigens might act as olfactory self...
متن کاملSexual Selection and Human Geographic Variation
Among early modern humans, a woman would face stronger competition for a mate the further away she was from the equator. Men were less available because they 1) hunted over longer distances that increased male mortality proportionately and 2) were less able to offset the resulting man shortage through polygyny. The longer the winter, the costlier it became to provision a second wife and her chi...
متن کاملHeritability of and Early Environment Effects on Variation in Mating Preferences
Many species show substantial between-individual variation in mating preferences, but studying the causes of such variation remains a challenge. For example, the relative importance of heritable variation versus shared early environment effects (like sexual imprinting) on mating preferences has never been quantified in a population of animals. Here, we estimate the heritability of and early rea...
