The existence of naturally occurring blood-group antigens without obvious benefit to the individual having them is one of the more perplexing and widely investigated problems in biology. The assumption of the nonadaptive (selectively neutral) charact

Four samples from widely separated and culturally distinct populations-U.S. college students, Mennonites, Egyptian villagers, and Brazilian migrants-are examined for evidence of a relationship between ABO blood type and body weight. Overall, the resu

Greater reproductive variance among males than among females is presented as a component of natural selection's influence in determining preferential treatment of males in the inheritance of wealth. In conjunction, the transmission of sex chromosomes

Significant associations of cranial shape for 82 ethnic groups and seven climate variables are described. Variation among current populations is partially attributed to cold adaptation throughout the Pleistocene. Application of data files tabulated b

Two hypotheses concerning the influence of natural selection intensity on intra- and interpopulational variability of metric characteristics of the human skull ar tested. Using data on 58 series from Europe and its environs dating from Neolithic to m

A bioclimatic model is evaluated as an explanation of variation in cranial capacity among 122 ethnic groups. Distribution of absolute and relative endocranial volume is mapped. Significant correlations occur with all nine climatic variables examined.

Four causal metatypes in science theories correspond to four cognitive/cogitative/perceptual types which vary from individual to individual. In any given culture, all individual types exist, but their percentage distribution varies from culture to cu

The breakdown of isolation between groups is theoretically expected to increase the amount of variation within groups. One measure of the in-group variation is the frequency of heterozygosity; this should increase in accordance with the evolution of
