Observing activity level during infancy is a way to assess anger in very young children #PRTC16

Men hunted & women stayed to care for children--supports the diff in spatiotemporal ability I talked about in a previous tweet! @MMann333

The nature of the variables measured (dichotomous vs. continuous) affects which variables can be apart of one SEM #PRTC16
