Chances are good you'll see raccoon tracks — they often follow the water's edge
in their hunting quest. You may also see mink, muskrat, beaver, otter, skunk, or
opossum in such places, depending on what part of the world you're in. This is a
particularly good way to begin your studies simply because soft wet mud tracks
are apt to be more perfect than those found in other terrain conditions. A handy
device for assisting you here is a simple tracking stick. You can make it easily
from ...

There have been many books, movies, and even TV commercials featuring Neandertals--some serious, some comical. But what was it really like to be a Neandertal? How were their lives similar to or different from ours? In How to Think Like a Neandertal, archaeologist Thomas Wynn and psychologist Frederick L. Coolidge team up to provide a brilliant account of the mental life of Neandertals, drawing on the most recent fossil and archaeological remains. Indeed, some Neandertal remains are not fossilized, allowing scientists to recover samples of their genes--one specimen had the gene for red hair and, more provocatively, all had a gene called FOXP2, which is thought to be related to speech. Given the differences between their faces and ours, their voices probably sounded a bit different, and the range of consonants and vowels they could generate might have been different. But they could talk, and they had a large (perhaps huge) vocabulary--words for places, routes, techniques, individuals, and emotions. Extensive archaeological remains of stone tools and living sites (and, yes, they did often live in caves) indicate that Neandertals relied on complex technical procedures and spent most of their lives in small family groups. The authors sift the evidence that Neandertals had a symbolic culture--looking at their treatment of corpses, the use of fire, and possible body coloring--and conclude that they probably did not have a sense of the supernatural. The book explores the brutal nature of their lives, especially in northwestern Europe, where men and women with spears hunted together for mammoths and wooly rhinoceroses. They were pain tolerant, very likely taciturn, and not easy to excite. Wynn and Coolidge offer here an eye-opening portrait of Neandertals, painting a remarkable picture of these long-vanished people and providing insight, as they go along, into our own minds and culture.
They were a distinct population that had a separate evolutionary history for
several hundred thousand years, during which time they evolved a number of
derived characteristics not shared with Homo sapiens sapiens. At the same time,
a continent away, our ancestors were ... The result must have been a difference
far greater than the difference between Chinese and English, or indeed between
any pair of human languages. Specifying just how Neandertal communication
differed from ...
An important problem in personnel psychology, namely, the psychometric problem known as "validity generalization" is addressed in this volume. From a statistical point of view, the problem is how to make statements about a population correlation coefficient based on inferences from a collection of sample correlation coefficients. The first part of the book examines the largely ad hoc procedures which have been used to determine validity generalization. The second part develops a new model formulated from the perspective of finite mixture theory and, in addition, illustrates its use in several applications.
Motivation. and. Background. The goal of this book is to understand histograms,
such as Figure 1.1. The figure is taken from Ghiselli's classic 1966 book The
Validity of Occupational Aptitude Tests and is his Figure 2-4. It shows histograms
of observed correlation coefficients called validity coefficients. The problem is to
model such histograms. Specifically, what might be a parent distribution for such
histograms? How many different population correlation coefficients, if more than
one, ...
