The Emergence and Persistence of Inequality in Premodern Societies (2010, background): “It also converges with that of evolutionary anthropologists, who have made the intergenerational transfer of a whole range of wealth types central to their models of human demographic patterns (Kaplan 1996; Kaplan and Lancaster 2003; Lee 2003; Luttbeg, Borgerhoff Mulder, and Mangel 2000; Mace 2000).”
Hamilton's rule and kin competition: the Kipsigis case ☆ (2007, background): “…of an evolved set of life history traits, specifically the rapid production of altricial young requiring high levels of parental investment (Kaplan and Lancaster 2003), and the poor socioeconomic conditions typical of many regions within the developing world, including food insecurity,…”
The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity (2010, unknown): “…likely to be found among hunter-gatherers inhabiting harsh physical environments where biparental care (male provisioning) is substantial and important for offspring survival and reproductive success (Draper and Harpending, 1988; Geary, 2000; Kaplan and Lancaster, 2003, Table 7-1; Marlowe, 2003).”
Fundamental Dimensions of Environmental Risk (2009, background): “As conceptualized by Kaplan and colleagues (Kaplan and Lancaster 2003; Kaplan et al. 2000), these distinctive characteristics constitute a coevolved suite of traits.”
