Trends in Genetics, 1999
The origin, history, and singularity of our species has fascinated storytellers, philosophers and scientists throughout, and doubtless before, recorded history. Anthropology, the modern-era discipline that deals with these issues, is a notoriously contentious field, perhaps because the topic at hand - the nature of our own species - is one that is ...

Androgens in human evolution. A new explanation of human evolution.
Rivista di biologia, 2001Human evolution consists of chronological changes in gene regulation of a continuous and relatively stable genome, activated by hormones, the production of which is intermittently affected by endogenous and exogenous forces. Periodic variations in the gonadal androgen, testosterone, and the adrenal androgen, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), significantly

Journal of Human Evolution, 1982
Man’s skin is unique among land mammals in that it appears to be largely hairless. Whereas our skin bears millions of hairs, some so small as to be nearly invisible, hairs generally grow vigorously and prominently on men’s faces, and particularly on the scalp, axillae, mons, and anogenital areas of both sexes.

The Evolution of Human Uniqueness
The Spanish Journal of Psychology, 2016AbstractThe human species is an outlier in the natural world. Two million years ago our ancestors were a slightly odd apes. Now we occupy the largest ecological and geographical range of any species, have larger biomass, and process more energy. Usually, this transformation is explained in terms of cognitive ability—people are just smarter than all the

The Evolution of Altruism in Humans
Annual Review of Psychology, 2015Humans are an intensely social species, frequently performing costly behaviors that benefit others. Efforts to solve the evolutionary puzzle of altruism have a lengthy history, and recent years have seen many important advances across a range of disciplines.

ked to choose the most distinc tive feature of the human spe cies, many people would cite our massive brain. Others might men tion our ability to make and use so phisticated tools. A third feature also sets us apart: our upright mode of locomotion, which is found only in human beings and our immediate an cestors.

The evolution of human sexuality
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1996The study of human sexuality from the darwinian perspective is in an explosive phase. Recent research is diverse; for instance, the dynamics of heterosexual relationships, the role of honest advertisement in attractiveness, the role of fluctuating asymmetry in sexual competition, and sexual conflict over fertilization, seen in sperm competition ...

Human Biology, 2005
The number of eastern Polynesian females required to found the Maori population of Aotearoa (New Zealand) has been recalculated. Our estimates use computer simulations that incorporate realistic sigmoid population growth models and include previously published and new mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 3' hypervariable region 1 sequences from Măori (N = 109 ...

My first experiment on reproductive behavior was published in 1937, and since that time most of my research has dealt with the neural, hormonal, and experiential control of sexual activity in various species of birds and mammals. In the course of nearly four decades I have authored, coauthored, or edited three books dealing with sexual behavior.
