These are key questions in the evolutionary social sciences. Recent advances in the field of human genomics have yielded a wealth of evidence that sheds light on these questions, yet the findings and their implications seem to be little known in the evolutionary social sciences. In this paper I aim to bring together these findings while explaining the conceptual and technical background that is often assumed knowledge for reading the primary reports. First, I outline the genomics methodologies that have enabled the relevant findings, such as genomewide association studies and DNA-based heritability estimation. I describe how these methodologies reveal the genetic architecture of traits, and then how this information in turn enables inferences about past selection. The findings show pervasive evidence that the genetic architecture of complex traits has been shaped by negative (purifying) selection, implying that the extant genetic variation in the traits has been maintained by mutation-selection-drift balance. On the other hand, there is no evidence that balancing selection has substantively shaped complex traits, and strong evidence that it has not. Finally, I discuss the implications of these findings for issues such as the dimensional structure of personality variation and the plausibility of psychological life history theory.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55159,"journal":{"name":"Evolution and Human Behavior","volume":"45 4","pages":"Article 106596"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513824000722/pdfft?md5=645cc54ab3f014e3bc9ba1f3bac18fee&pid=1-s2.0-S1090513824000722-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141480991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Older children were more likely to recognize, prefer, learn from, and assign leadership to the prestigious character, and to identify with the subordinate. There were no cross-cultural differences in learning preferences, supporting evolutionary theories that posit a universal bias towards social learning from prestigious individuals. There was variation in leadership preferences; children were the most likely to assign leadership to a prestigious character in more egalitarian Finland, and least likely in more unequal Colombia.

Among children, HAZ, BMI, and sum of four skinfolds were measured; among adults, BMI, sum of four skinfolds, and percent body fat with bioelectrical impedance were measured. Some skill losses increased by a large amount the likelihood of severe childhood stunting (HAZ < -3) for girls; the complete loss of these skills increased the share of severely stunted girls from 5% to 13%–20%. These are big numbers. The effects of LEK on other anthropometric indicators of children or adults were small.
