, 2021 Since the birth of the discipline, anthropologists have studied politics and the political. At times this has been incidental to other interests, at other times it has been the central research focus. Elections, political institutions, the state, citizenship, and social movements are just a few of anthropologists' interests.

Elemental models of primate nursing and weaning revisited
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 180, Issue 1, Page 216-223, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Objectives Intra‐tooth patterns of trace elements barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) have been used to infer human and nonhuman primate nursing histories, including australopithecine and Neanderthal juveniles. Here, we contrast the two elemental models in first molars (M1s) of four wild baboons and explore the assumptions that underlie each ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 180, Issue 1, Page 224-234, January 2023., 2023 When measuring the shape human crania, 3D digitizer, CT scanner, and surface scanner will measure precisely enough that individuals can be told apart in a principal component plot. Abstract This study aimed to test the performance of 3D digitizer, CT scanner, and surface scanner in detecting cranial fluctuating asymmetry. Sets of 32 landmarks (6 in the

Quantum entanglement and anthropology [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We find that the set of local quantum operations and classical communication for multiparty quantum states can be considered as analogous to online meetings between members of a population. Moreover, monotonicity properties of quantum and classical correlations of quantum states of shared systems also carry over to relations between members of the ...

Understanding anthropological understanding [PDF]
Anthropological Theory, 2009 In this article I argue for a merological anthropology in which ideas of `partiality' and `practical adequacy' provide a way out of the impasse of relativism which is implied by postmodernism and the related abandonment of a concern with `truth'. Ideas such as `aptness' and `faithfulness' enable us to re-establish empirical foundations without having ...

Examination of runs of homozygosity in relation to height in an endogamous Namibian population
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 180, Issue 1, Page 207-215, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Objectives Height is a complex, highly heritable polygenic trait subject to both genetic composition and environmental influences. Recent studies suggest that a large proportion of height heritability is determined by the cumulative effect of many low allele frequency variants across the genome. Previous research has also identified an inverse

Housing the homeless: How revisiting the 1940s assists the struggle
Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 798-811, December 2022., 2022 Abstract A major obstacle in the political work of housing the homeless is convincing voters and lawmakers that housing is a right and should be available to all without conditions. This paper seeks to assist that project by showing that the tension between rights and conditions has a history. It focusses on the pivotal 1940s, which saw the first major
