The present study investigated the validity of stereotyped beliefs about sex differences in preferences for opposite sex coloration. The likes and dislikes of 482 female and 549 male Caucasian college students for eye color, hair color, and complexion color of the opposite sex were investigated by means of a sexual selection questionnaire. Results...
Preferences of 482 Caucasian female college students for males' beardedness were investigated through a questionnaire. Observed low levels of liking for beardedness contrast markedly with earlier research on other college populations. The influence of region and rurality on political and social conservatism was discussed as a possible explanation f...
Late Plains Woodland burial from a badlands region of western Sioux County, Nebraska produced the nearly complete skeleton of a robust adult male. Burial practices and associated grave goods are typical for the Woodland culture. However, osteological analysis has revealed a pattern of physical characteristics for the human skeleton which shows no r...
A protohistoric rock shelter burial from the Pitchfork Site in northwestern Wyoming produced two partially mummified skeletons of young adult male American Indians. Preserved clothing, buffalorobes, trade goods and additional cultural items were present. Equally well preserved is the twisted and braided scalp hair of one mummy, andother bodily tiss...
A protohistoric burial from the Glendo Site in eastern Wyoming produced a nearly complete human skeleton of a young adult female. Osteological analysis of the specimen reveals predominantly Caucasoid physical characteristics. A skeleton exhibiting such an anatomical pattern, and coming from a grave clearly exhibiting Plains.lndian cultural affiniti...

... While many Keith phase burials are in habitation sites, there also are ossuaries, cemeteries, and individual burials away from habitation sites (Bozell 2006:97;Gill and Lewis 1977;Hoard et al. 2005:272-273;Kivett 1953;Strong 1935). With increased sedentism one might expect a more concerted effort to mark and assert control over a territory, which sometimes is done by interment of the dead over many years in a visible place or structure, implying land tenure (Roper 2006b:316-325). ...
... However, findings on female perceptions of male beards are equivocal. Some studies suggest that women prefer beards (Dixson et al., 2013;Hatfield et al., 1986;Reed et al., 1990), whereas others indicate that women favor clean-shaven men (Dixson et al., 2012;Feinman et al., 1977;Muscarella et al., 1996;Wogalter et al., 1991). These mixed results indirectly suggest that beards are more beneficial for intrasexual, rather than intersexual competition: beards may signal men's dominance and aggression toward other men. ...
... Frost et al. (2017) also assumed that the current frequency of hair colors in the population, where the prevalence of red hair is low, had stabilized and there is now an equilibrium between the rare-color advantage and the impaired health of people with red hair (Flegr and Sýkorová, 2019). Male preference for red, the rarest hair color, was not supported in several studies (Lawson, 1971;Clayson and Maughan, 1976;Feinman and Gill, 1978;Clayson and Maughan, 1986;Clayson and Klassen, 1989;Swami and Barrett, 2011;Guéguen, 2012). It was, however, partly supported by Wortham et al. (2018) who showed that red hair was preferred over other hair colors more frequently than expected based on the prevalence of redheads in the studied population (men preferred red hair 6% of the time, while only 3% of the female population were redheads). ...
