His work has been applied by social scientists to problems in their particular fields. Caspari's papers contain correspondence with the American Psychological and Sociological Associations. Included under the heading of the latter is a copy of his 1963 conference address to the ASA on "Genetic Constitution and Social Factors in Man." There is correspondence (1968-72) with Bernard Campbell on the topic of a published volume dealing with sexual selection in human evolution, to commemorate the centenary of Charles Darwin's Descent of Man, and also with the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Other relevant subject materials include records dealing with Caspari's membership on the Committee on Genetics and Behavior of the National Research Council; a study on "The Biological Basis of Female Hierarchies" of 1975; and various public addresses and papers dealing with heredity and environment in the determination of human behavior, human origins, and the interactions between biological and cultural evolution. | | | | Source: | Ernst Wolfgang Caspari Papers (Ms. Coll. 1) | | | | |
