A form of non-random mating in which individuals who are not genetically alike for particular traits mate and those who are alike do not. The result is a progressive increase in the frequency of heterozygotes and a decrease in the homozygotes for the discriminated traits. See positive assortative mating and random mating.

A mating pattern in which one male has more than one female mate. Polygyny is common among primates. It is found among hamadryas baboons, geladas, langurs, howler monkeys, gorillas and many human societies. It has been a culturally preferred marriage pattern in numerous Native American, African, and South Asian cultures. However, polygyny is not as common among humans as monogamy, even in cultures that advocate it.

Industry:Anthropology
A radiometric dating method based on the fact that background radiation causes electrons to separate from their atoms and become trapped in the crystal lattice of minerals. When odd numbers of electrons are separated, there is a measurable change in the magnetic field (or spin) of the atoms. Since the magnetic field progressively changes with time in a predictable way as a result of this process, it provides an atomic clock, or calendar, that can be used for dating purposes. This technique is employed primarily to chronometrically date calcium carbonate in limestone, coral, teeth, mollusks, and egg shells. It can also date quartz and flint.
