DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will describe the VariKin project\, a multidisc
 iplinary approach to understand the patterned variation  in human kinship 
 terms. The team brings together theory and method across anthropology\, li
 nguistics\, evolutionary biology\, and computational methods. We have earl
 y results from large cross-cultural analyses using comparative phylogeneti
 c methods\, studies of the patterns of frequency of use in different langu
 age varieties\, and insights into child acquisition and use from fieldwork
  in a Datooga community in Tanzania.
