Demography backfill

1 Feb 2021

Demography note and confidence assignment backfill - complete for Linda's, Weaver's, Omo's, Viola's, Nyayo's, Proton's, and Dotty's groups (though some ranks may require adjusting); Hook's group backfill for 1990-1993 complete, 1994 now in progress.

Sexual Cycles**

1 Feb 2021

Cycling data through Dec 2020 (data for the TZ loss and prior requires some correction once cycgaps issues are fixed); sexskins & pcskins through Dec 2016 and backfilled through 1997 (except for Joy's and Nzige's 1997 data, which throw a lot of errors, and Acacia's 2012 + some data for Kelly in 2012, which throw mdate errors due to a failure of the code to deal properly with data subsequent to these females' cycgaps)
