“…We note that this finding may indicate patrilocal mating behavior among Neandertal groups. Patrilocality is present in about 70% of modern societies (18) and is expected to result in greater diversity of mtDNA lineages among females in social groups than among males-as we found in this study. Patrilocality also is expected to result in a wider geographical dispersal of mtDNA lineages relative to those of the Y chromosome.…”

The remains of 12 Neandertal individuals have been found at the El Sidrón site (Asturias, Spain), consisting of six adults, three adolescents, two juveniles, and one infant. Archaeological, paleontological, and geological evidence indicates that these individuals represent all or part of a contemporaneous social group of Neandertals, who died at around the same time and later were buried together as a result of a collapse of an underground karst. We sequenced phylogenetically informative positions of mtDNA hypervariable regions 1 and 2 from each of the remains. Our results show that the 12 individuals stem from three different maternal lineages, accounting for seven, four, and one individual(s), respectively. Using a Y-chromosome assay to confirm the morphological determination of sex for each individual, we found that, although the three adult males carried the same mtDNA lineage, each of the three adult females carried different mtDNA lineages. These findings provide evidence to indicate that Neandertal groups not only were small and characterized by low genetic diversity but also were likely to have practiced patrilocal mating behavior.patrilocality | kinship | demography | human evolution

“…In this framework, both the prevalence of virilocality in ethnographically attested IE societies and the nearzero rate of switching from viri-to uxorilocality inferred by our evolutionary model are consistent with the pastoral and intensive agricultural subsistence economies ascribed to early IE societies (Mallory 1997). The matricentric character of AN societies (Burton et al 1996) suggests a different evolutionary dynamic, that is, the loss of early-but perhaps widespread-uxorilocality. The origin and/or maintenance of uxorilocality has been linked to a 'male absence' factor (Keegan & Machlaclan 1989;Hage 1999).…”

Accurate reconstruction of prehistoric social organization is important if we are to put together satisfactory multidisciplinary scenarios about, for example, the dispersal of human groups. Such considerations apply in the case of Indo-European and Austronesian, two large-scale language families that are thought to represent Neolithic expansions. Ancestral kinship patterns have mostly been inferred through reconstruction of kin terminologies in ancestral proto-languages using the linguistic comparative method, and through geographical or distributional arguments based on the comparative patterns of kin terms and ethnographic kinship ‘facts’. While these approaches are detailed and valuable, the processes through which conclusions have been drawn from the data fail to provide explicit criteria for systematic testing of alternative hypotheses. Here, we use language trees derived using phylogenetic tree-building techniques on Indo-European and Austronesian vocabulary data. With these trees, ethnographic data and Bayesian phylogenetic comparative methods, we statistically reconstruct past marital residence and infer rates of cultural change between different residence forms, showing Proto-Indo-European to be virilocal and Proto-Malayo-Polynesian uxorilocal. The instability of uxorilocality and the rare loss of virilocality once gained emerge as common features of both familie

“…Another reason for our choice was that we wanted a diversity of cultures. Anthropologists define 'culture areas' as regions comprising groups of societies with common environmental influences, geographical contiguity, shared history, and similar social structure (Burton, Moore, Whiting, & Romney, 1996). Clearly, these Japan, Turkey, and the U.S. represent historically different cultural and geopolitical regions.…”

Although the underlying mechanics of autobiographical memory may be identical across cultures, the processing of information differs. Undergraduates from Japan, Turkey, and the U.S.A. rated 30 autobiographical memories on 15 phenomenological and cognitive properties. Mean values were similar across culture, with means from the Japanese sample being lower on most measures but higher on belief in the accuracy of their memories. Correlations within individuals were also similar across cultures, with correlations from the Turkish sample being higher between measures of language and measures of recollection and belief. For all three cultures, in multiple regression analyses, measures of recollection were predicted by visual imagery, auditory imagery, and emotions, whereas measures of belief were predicted by knowledge of the setting. These results show subtle cultural differences in the experience of remembering. Keywords memory; autobiographical memory; recollection; cross culture In psychology, the cross-cultural study of autobiographical memory has focused on two areas: the development of narrative in autobiographical memory (Han, Leichtman, & Wang, 1998;Jin & Naka, 2002;Mullen & Yi, 1995;Wang & Brockmeister, 2002) and the distribution of autobiographical memories across the lifespan (Conway, Wang, Hanyu, & Haque, 2005;Conway & Haque, 1999;Larsen, Schrauf, Fromholt, & Rubin, 2002;Schrauf & Rubin, 2000, 2003. In both these areas one notes the same basic results in different cultures often with small but interpretable modifications for culture or major events in the cultural life of the society.Here we view autobiographical memories as the products of component processes, with each process occurring in a separate behaviorally and neurally defined system. This is the basicsystems model of autobiographical memory summarized in Rubin (2005Rubin ( , 2006 and elaborated in a series of empirical studies Rubin & Greenberg, 1998, 2003Rubin, Schrauf, & Greenberg, 2003;Schrauf, 2000;Schrauf & Please send correspondence to: David C.

Author manuscript; available in PMC 2014 April 02. NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript Rubin, , 2000Rubin & Siegler, 2004). This model is distinctive eschewing the notion of abstract, amodal information in the brain and in tracing the components of autobiographical memories (visual imagery, auditory imagery, emotion, language, narrative, and others) to specific systems represented by identifiable areas in the brain. Thus, an autobiographical memory is the result of selectively re-integrating sensory, motor, emotional, and linguistic information from various brain centers into a narrative whole that corresponds to the original binding of some or all of that information at the encoding of the event (Rubin, 2006).In previous work (Rubin, Schrauf, & Greenberg, 2003;Rubin & Siegler, 2004) we provid...
