Journal ArticleDOI
Human inbreeding avoidance: Culture in nature
TL;DR: An interactive model of “culture in nature” is presented, in which culture is seen as coevolving with genes to produce the maxiniization of individual inclusive fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brucella evolution and taxonomy.
TL;DR: A critical reappraisal of the species concept, a review of the population structure of bacteria and the analysis of Brucella genetic diversity by methods other than DNA-DNA hybridization show that there are no scientific grounds to apply the genomospecies concept to this genus.

Regional continuity in Australasian Pleistocene hominid evolution
Alan Thorne,Milford H. Wolpoff +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the "center and edge" hypothesis could account for the initial appearance of regional variation, and that a dynamic model of geneflow and opposing selection provides the mechanism that maintained a long-standing dynamic clinal equilibrium in Australasia during the middle and late Pleistocene.

Physical Attractiveness: An Adaptationist Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrate life history, evolutionary psychology, and human biology approaches to address the question of how and why our minds generate different levels of attraction to others, and identify different domains of social value for which attractiveness assessment evolved, and review evidence for some of the hypothesized attractiveness-assessment adaptations in those domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergent Host Plant Adaptation and Reproductive Isolation between Ecotypes of Timema cristinae Walking Sticks
TL;DR: This work synthesizes studies of Timema cristinae host plant ecotypes to compare the magnitude of multiple reproductive barriers among different ecological and geographic scenarios and revealed that divergent host adaptation can promote the evolution of diverse reproductive barriers, including those that are not inherently ecological.
