Cooperation is related to dispersal patterns in Sino-Tibetan populations [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2015 There is growing recognition in both evolutionary biology and anthropology that dispersal is key to establishing patterns of cooperation. However, some models predict that cooperation is more likely to evolve in low dispersal (viscous) populations, while

Lexical data for the historical comparison of Rgyalrongic languages [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]
Open Research Europe, 2023 As one of the most morphologically conservative branches of the Sino-Tibetan language family, most of the Rgyalrongic languages are still understudied and poorly understood, not to mention their vulnerable or endangered status.

Overview of Sino-Tibetan morphosyntax [PDF]
, 2010 At the earliest reconstructable stage of the development of the Sino-Tibetan (ST) language family, possibly as much as six thousand years ago (Thurgood 1994),1 the proto-language was monosyllabic. Matisoff (2014) reconstructs the syllable canon as *(P²) (P¹) Ci (G¹) (G²) V (ː) (w/y) (Cf) (s).2 It is not clear whether the prefixes in some or all cases ...
