535ce313ed298680147e931f92390c67767ad47b | in the early 1980s, wilson further disturbed and | in the early 1980s, wilson further disturbed and refined traditional anthropological thinking by his work with phd students rebecca cann and mark stoneking on the so-called "mitochondrial eve" hypothesis. in his efforts to identify informative genetic markers for tracking human evolutionary history, he focused on mitochondrial dna (mtdna) – genes that are found in mitochondria organelles in the cytoplasm of the cell outside the nucleus. because of its location in the cytoplasm, mtdna is passed exclusively from mother to child, the father making no contribution, and in the absence of genetic recombination defines female lineages over evolutionary timescales. because it also mutates rapidly, it is possible to measure the small genetic differences among individual within species and between closely related species by restriction endonuclease gene mapping. wilson, cann, and stoneking measured differences among many individuals from different human continental groups, and found that humans from africa showed the greatest inter-individual differences, consistent with an african origin of the human species (the recent african origin of modern humans or "out of africa" hypothesis). the data further indicated that all living humans shared a common maternal ancestor, who lived in africa only a few hundreds of thousands of years ago. this common ancestor became widely known in the media and popular culture as the mitochondrial eve. this had the unfortunate and erroneous implication that only a single female lived at that time, when in fact the occurrence of a coalescent ancestor is a necessary consequence of population genetic theory, and the mitochondrial eve would have been only one of many humans (male and female) alive at that time. this finding was, like his earlier results, not readily accepted by anthropologists. the conventional hypothesis had been that various human continental groups had evolved from diverse ancestors, over several millions of years since divergence from chimpanzees. the mtdna data, however, strongly support the alternative and now generally accepted hypothesis, that all humans descend relatively recently from a common, relatively small african population. | wikipedia |

3810adf56c0949b8bdd574dc9339ba634575c770 | wilson joined the uc berkeley faculty of biochemistry | wilson joined the uc berkeley faculty of biochemistry in 1964, and was promoted to full professor in 1972. his first major scientific contribution was published as immunological time-scale for hominid evolution in the journal science in december 1967. with his student vincent sarich, he showed that evolutionary relationships of the human species with other primates, in particular the great apes (humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans), could be inferred from molecular evidence obtained from living species, rather than solely from fossils of extinct creatures. their microcomplement fixation method (see complement system) measured the strength of the immune reaction between an antigen (serum albumin) from one species and an antibody raised against the same antigen in another species. the strength of the antibody-antigen reaction was known to be stronger between more closely related species: their innovation was to measure it quantitatively among many species pairs as an " immunological distance ". when these distances were plotted against the divergence times of species pair with well-established evolutionary histories, the data showed that the molecular difference increased linearly with time, in what was termed a " molecular clock ". given this calibration curve, the time of divergence between species pairs with unknown or uncertain fossil histories could be inferred. most controversially, their data suggested that divergence times between humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas were on the order of 3~5 million years, far less than the estimates of 9~30 million years accepted by conventional paleoanthropologists from fossil hominids such as ramapithecus. this 'recent origin' theory of human/ ape divergence remained controversial until the discovery of the " lucy " fossils, in 1974, definitively dated in 1992 as between 3.22 and 3.18 million years. | wikipedia |

"in view of this new policy and the problems facing tribes as a result of the loss of their children, the indian child welfare act was enacted in 1978." aboriginal child protection is now the subject of a body of federal law and programs. through the indian health service (ihs), the u.s. government provides "health services to more than 1.8 million federally-recognized american indians and alaska natives through a system of ihs, tribal, and urban... operated facilities and programs based on treaties, judicial determinations, and acts of congress." the ihs is "the principal federal health care provider and advocate for the health of american indians and alaska natives". as part of its services, the ihs administers the indian child abuse and family violence prevention act and with the bureau of indian affairs offers model tribal laws for child protection codes on reservation. these services, programs and codes may be culturally and linguistically as well as legally and politically differentiated from those of state-based child protective services but, more generally, "kinship care has become an integral program option along the continuum of service options in the child welfare system." | wikipedia |

"the report's recommendations, all accepted by the then minister, focus upon the need for the department to function in a bicultural manner and to share responsibility and authority for decisions with appropriate māori people." by the late 1980s, "notions of social work accountability, along with the pivotal role accorded family and whanau, had tipped the balance of care and protection work away from professionals. 'family solutions to family problems', an important philosophy of child welfare work for many years, became more significant as family decision-making assumed importance." in 1989, new zealand parliament passed the new ground-breaking children, young persons, and their families act 1989, based on a philosophy of kinship care, that recognized "the importance of cultural identity in child protection policy."

"native agencies are bound by the same provincial child-welfare laws as their mainstream counterparts, but must survive on far tighter budgets under a strict federal funding formula that takes little account of provincial legislation." in 2007, the assembly of first nations announced that it was filing a complaint with the canadian human rights commission that discriminatory services violated human rights. in 2008, canada's auditor general found that "current funding practices do not lead to equitable funding among aboriginal and first nations communities." currently, "the first nations are engaged in a struggle to gain control of child welfare in their own communities, and this issue has a significant place in the first nations movement towards self-determination." indigenous peoples exercising the right of self-determination have yet to make it fully effective in respect of aboriginal child protection. | wikipedia |

"any indigenous families prefer to make informal arrangements where possible for the care of children by extended family members. this distrust of the system is one of the reasons for the shortage of indigenous carers in most jurisdictions in australia." recent studies have been carried out to see how partnerships can be used to fully understand the family structure in aboriginal families and how to create partnerships to promote their wellbeing. | wikipedia |
