“…Records usually consist of locations identified by administrative units rather than addresses, so it is difficult to estimate short distance movements. Written records also reveal historical changes in migra tion rates and distances, often over several centuries (24,39,58,73). Direct questioning (69,72) and direct observation of mother-offspring distances in nonhuman populations are alternative sources of data.…”

“…To facilitate analyses, some of these parishes were combined to form four groups: (1), COMB; (2), HB; (3), WyWt; (4) BAA. The basis for this particular arrangement was the comparative magnitude of the marital exchange systems between the individual parishes, which lead to the highest ancestral affinities within these clusters (Hiorns et al 1969). Subjects were also differentiated according to whether they were born in one or other of the above parishes (called locally born) or not (called non-locally born).…”

Patterns of variation in I.Q., personality and stature are examined in the Otmoor region of Oxfordshire according to village of residence and whether people were born locally or not. It is shown that the locally born do not vary by village in I.Q., but that immigrants do and this is not solely due to social-class associations. Immigrants also have substantially higher I.Qs than those born locally. The findings are discussed in terms of the selectiveness of in-and-out migration.

“…For this purpose, we collaborated with our colleague in biomathematics at Oxford, R.W. Hiorns, who devised a matrix approach to demonstrate how long it would take for villages to share a 95% common ancestry were there no such original common ancestry at the beginning of their exchanges, and how the pattern of such relatedness would develop between the villages (Hiorns et al 1969).…”

I much appreciated being invited to write a contribution for this journal, but initially presumed that what was required was a comprehensive review of some major issue in biological anthropology. Indeed I drafted a contribution on the history of the subject during the second part of the twentieth century. I was then firmly told that this was not what was wanted, rather something much more autobiographical. Well that is what you have got: an extremely personal account of my own research career over some 50 years in biological anthropology. I have summarized the results of what I consider the main projects I and my colleagues have undertaken and tried to document successes and failures. I cannot claim any earth-shattering discovery but hope that we have contributed in a substantial way to the further understanding of the nature of human variation, a main concern of biological anthropology in the second half of the twentieth century.
