“…The first attempt to use PMA in order to determine whether a specific type of relative is married preferentially seems to have been by Goldberg (1967). "Spouse POO~S" for a community in Israel were constructed, and the actual frequency of patrilateral parallel cousin marriages were compared with the frequency of those cousins in the pools.…”

Analysis of the size and characteristics of potential mate pools is a powerful technique for assessing the importance of social, demographic, geographic, and other influences on patterns of mating and migration. It is also useful for testing the effects of certain assumptions underlying methods commonly used in studies of population structure. Potential mates analysis has been applied to several different populations. It has clarified some aspects of population structure that have been studied by other means in the past and has uncovered some phenomena not previously recognized. The advantages and limitations of this technique are discussed, and its uses to date are reviewed in light of some current criticisms of human population structure studies.The purpose of this paper is to describe and review the uses of a fairly new technique, potential mates analysis (PMA), in light of what seems to be a growing dissatisfaction with the state of the study of human population structure. To this end, (1) the method, which, though conceptually simple, is perhaps more complex in implementation than might appear, is outlined, (2) applications of the method that have been carried out thus far are summarized and discussed, and (3) present limitations and several desirable goals are indicated.

“…However, education may not only empower women: there may also be an incompatibility of roles that prevents them from fulfilling spousal obligations while going to school (Esteve et al 2012). Since consanguineous marriages tend to be contracted at a relatively early age (Goldberg 1967), the role incompatibility hypothesis predicts that an increase in enrolment will affect consanguineous marriage more than nonconsanguineous marriage. Quite a few studies have estimated the separate effects of school enrolment and educational attainment on marriage in general (e.g., Blossfeld and Jaenichen 1992;Santow and Bracher 1994;Oppenheimer, Kalmijn, and Lim 1997;Raz-Yurovich 2010).…”

“…There is substantial literature on the relationships between population processes and the social units in which individuals are located (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). However, there has been little attention to siblings or wider collaterals.…”

Changes in fertility and mortality affect the size of surviving sibling sets and thus numbers of surviving kin. Because the genealogical generations specifying kinship relations are not temporal cohorts and most plausible demographic changes in anthropological populations are period shocks, the effect of such shocks on kin counts are complex. Shocks increasing fertility or decreasing mortality produce larger numbers of kin per ego and decrease the inequality of the distribution of kin and vice versa. Effects are more diffuse at more distant collateral ranges. Effects are stronger the more intense the shock and the longer its duration. Kinship distributions return to their initial state after the shock and as the original age structure of the population is ergodically reattained. Alternating shocks produce more complex patterns. Implications of these outcomes are that opportunities for political networking and consolidation by means of kinship are altered by demographic instabilities, as are the dynamics of kin selection. This analysis is limited for simplicity to unilineal agnatic reckoning of kin.demography ͉ evolution ͉ instability
