Thesis (Ph.D.)--Dartmouth College, 2017.

As a social species, humans are faced with selection pressures resulting from a complex interplay between the environment and conspecifics. This thesis explores the adaptive behavioral responses that produce the unique social structure and organization of humans, and the evolutionary consequences of these behaviors, for humans living in a tropical rainforest. By combining a rich historical data set with contemporary data on Batek hunter-gatherers in Peninsular Malaysia, I bring new empirical data to bear on several longstanding topics in human behavioral ecology. Chapter 2 synthesizes patterns of Batek co-residence and tests multiple hypotheses to explain the unique structure of human groups. Variation in co-residence is partially explained by factors such as group size and subgroup structure, but the need for further theoretical development is highlighted. Chapter 3 investigates the extensive practice of Batek food sharing. Despite the impression that Batek share food indiscriminately, the analysis of food transfers at the daily scale reveals patterns that favor close kin, reciprocators, and individuals in need. Chapter 4 concludes with an explicitly evolutionary framework, synthesizing a wide-ranging array of data to test the determinants of lifetime reproductive success. I find that none of the variables investigated are strong predictors of Batek reproductive success, suggesting that egalitarianism complicates the normal pathways between status and reproductive outcomes. Collectively, this thesis elaborates the Batek as an important case study in the field of human behavioral ecology and demonstrates how social behaviors have been shaped by the evolutionary history of our species.
