The Hypoglycemia-Aggression Hypothesis
In a critical evaluation of work by Ralph Bolton on the relationship between hypoglycemia and aggression among the Qolla of Peru, Ted Lewellen has argued that the Qolla are not highly aggressive, that they have been the victims of pseudoscientific stereotyping and prejudice, that they are not especially prone to problems in glucose homeostasis, and that whatever aggression they display can be explained in large part by their consumption of alcoho…
Coca Chewing and High-Altitude Stress
Because the main present-day centres of coca chewing are in the high altiplano regions of Peru and Bolivia, it has been widely assumed that the habit evolved primarily as a response to the stresses of life at high altitudes. When archaeological, ethnohistorical, and botanical sources of evidence are considered, a different emphasis emerges. Before the European conquest, coca was chewed everywhere from Nicaragua to Chile and at all altitudes. This…
Anthropometric characteristics and body composition of Ainu and other Japanese
The Ainu of Hokkaido are metrically a population of short to medium stature. Compared to a diversity of other samples (Hindus, Japanese, Chinese, Canadian Eskimos and U. S. whites) Ainus tend to have a large surface area of the head and feet. The Ainu head tends to be large both in vertex‐chin dimensions and in coronal measurement, and the subcutaneous layer tends to be thick at both the cheek and chin. Ainus especially resemble Eskimos in their …
Coca Chewing and High-Altitude Stress
Andean Indians who chew coca seek to alleviate symptoms of hunger, thirst, fatigue, cold, and pain. A complete explanation of coca's use should account for these motives. The distribution of coca chewing in the Andes is shown to parallel that of polycythemia. Coca chewing is more common in higher altitudes, with men consistently chewing more than women and children, and chewing is especially common amongst mineworkers. Since androgens stimulate e…
