NEUROBIOLOGY--CHILD DEVELOPMENT, AND DISEASE PATTERNS IN PRIMITIVE CULTURE

对正在消失的原始社会的人类生物学的研究集中在 不同文化背景下的神经发育和学习模式 在这种孤立的群体中发现的人类条件下的实验。 对人类孤立表达的问题的机会主义调查是 我们所有的研究都是从这种方法发展而来的。技术问题 分子生物学、免疫学、病毒学、内分泌学和生物化学 现场流行病学、临床、语言和行为研究 文化隔离和遗传和/或地理隔离的原始 波段产生的数据比在世界性社会中更容易解释。 在密克罗尼西亚、波利尼西亚探险中收集的数据和标本 所罗门群岛、新赫布里底群岛、新几内亚、印度尼西亚、南美洲、亚洲 和非洲都被利用了。关于营养、生殖、生育、 神经内分泌对性成熟年龄和衰老的影响 高等生物的多态、遗传距离、异常和单数就业 大脑在语言学习、认知方式、计算中的功能 (没有文字或数字的计算)和文化修改的性 行为阐明人类神经功能的替代形式 一旦自然文化，我们就无法进行调查 在原始人类分离株上的实验被合并到 世界性的人类共同体。库鲁病、肌萎缩侧索硬化症/帕金森病、 癫痫、痉挛性瘫痪、家族性帕金森综合征、其他中枢神经系统疾病 变性，歇斯底里障碍，精神分裂症，肿瘤，甲状腺肿， 克汀病、类风湿疾病、糖尿病、哮喘、慢性肺部疾病、 疟疾、丝虫病、麻风病、囊虫病和其他传染病 调查过了。年肾综合征出血热等人畜共患病 中国、日本、朝鲜、苏联、斯堪的纳维亚半岛和巴尔干半岛 包括这些在美国新发现的Bunyamwera病毒 我们小组在1950-1960年间研究的免疫缺陷综合征 重新启动。人类进化和对高海拔的适应， 过度潮湿或干旱的气候，多变的食物供应，矿物质缺乏， 中毒暴露和对严重疾病或社会/心理疾病的反应 在适当的种群隔离中，压力正在调查中。

Studies of human biology of vanishing primitive societies focus on neurological development and learning patterns in diverse cultural experiments in the human condition found in such isolated groups. Opportunistic investigation of problems phrased by man in isolation is the basis of approach from which all our studies have evolved. Techniques of molecular biology, immunology, virology, endocrinology and biochemistry and field epidemiological, clinical, linguistic and behavioral studies in cultural isolates and genetic and/or geographically isolated primitive bands yield more easily interpretable data than in cosmopolitn societies. Data and specimens collected on expeditions to Micronesia, Polynesia Solomon Islands, New Hebrides, New Guinea, Indonesia, South America, Asia and Africa are used. Studies on nutrition, reproduction, fertility, neuroendocrine influences on age of sexual maturation and aging, genetic polymorphisms, genetic distance, unusual and odd employment of the higher cerebral functions in language learning, cognitive styles, computation (calculation without words or numbers) and culturally modified sexual behavior elucidate alternative forms of neurologic functioning for man which we would be unable to investigate once the natural cultural experiments in primitive human isolates are amalgamated into the cosmopolitan community of man. Foci of high incidence of kuru, ALS/PD, epilepsy, spastic paraparesis, familial parkinsonism, other CNS degenerations, hysterical disorders, schizophrenia, neoplasms, goiter, cretinism, rheumatoid diseases, diabetes, asthma, chronic lung disease, malaria, filariasis, leprosy, cysticercosis, and other infections are investigated. Zoonoses such as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in China, Japan, Korea, USSR, Scandinavia, and the Balkans are studied including these newly recognized Bunyamwera viruses in the U.S. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome studied by our group in 1950-1960 have been reinitiated. Human evolution and adaptability to high altitude, excessively wet or arid climes, variable food supply, mineral deficiencies, toxic exposures and responses to severe diseases or social/psychological stress are under investigation in appropriate population isolates.
