The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers: The Foraging Spectrum

TL;DR: Kelly as mentioned in this paper reviewed the anthropological literature for variation among living foragers in terms of diet, mobility, sharing, land tenure, technology, exchange, male-female relations, division of labor, marriage, descent and political organization, and argued for an approach to prehistory that uses archaeological data to test theory rather than one that uses ethnographic analogy to reconstruct the past.

Conflict between the sexes: strategic interference and the evocation of anger and upset

TL;DR: These studies provide modest support for the strategic conflict model and implicate the negative emotions of anger and upset as proximate mechanisms that alert men and women to strategic interference.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rethinking the evolutionary theory of aging: Transfers, not births, shape senescence in social species

TL;DR: The formal theory offered here, age-specific selective pressure on mortality depends on a weighted average of remaining fertility (the classic effect) and remaining intergenerational transfers to be made to others.

Pheromones and signature mixtures: defining species-wide signals and variable cues for identity in both invertebrates and vertebrates.

TL;DR: The proposed definitions for pheromone and signature mixture are based on the heuristic value of separating these kinds of chemical information, as there is no single signature mixture to find, and it is the differences in signature mixtures which allow animals to distinguish each other.

Social Ecology: Lost and Found in Psychological Science.

Animal dispersion in relation to social behaviour

TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.
