Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “However, the arena for signaling is fluid and culturally variable (e.g., Bliege Bird and Smith 2005; Hawkes and Bliege Bird 2002; also see Zahavi 1975, 1977).”
Altruism towards strangers in need: costly signaling in an industrial society (2010, unknown): “Turtle hunting and the associated public feasting among the Meriam of Torres Strait, Australia, is one of the best documented forms of public generosity (Bliege Bird & Bird, 1997; Smith & Bliege Bird, 2000, 2005; Smith, Bliege Bird, & Bird, 2003).”
On the dynamics of social hierarchy: A longitudinal investigation of the rise and fall of prestige, dominance, and social rank in naturalistic task groups (2019, background): “This, in turn, creates an exchange-like relationship whereby the associated costs for information sharing and cooperation for the individual high in prestige—of which benefit the other members of the group—are outweighed by the benefits that they receive from being high in social rank (Bliege Bird &”
Coastal South Africa and the Coevolution of the Modern Human Lineage and the Coastal Adaptation (2011, background): “We can possibly expect social structures with greater evenness if protein is supplied by women (Hawkes 1996; Hawkes and Bliege-Bird 2002) but also by women collecting shellfish in relatively unthreatening circumstances with their children.”
An Evolutionary and Ecological Analysis of Human Fertility, Mating Patterns, and Parental Investment (2003, background): “According to one view ( Hawkes and Bliege Bird, 2002 ), the provisioning of meat by men is actually generalized mating effort, not parental effort.”
Signals in Social Supernets (2007, background): “From lion-hunting Masai warriors to cigarette-smoking, drag-racing American teenagers, people (often young) perform risky acts to prove that they are so fit or skilled that they can afford to be daring (Dunbar, 1996; Hawkes & Bliege Bird, 2002).”
