Cooperation, subsistence, and the legacy of “Man the Hunter”
Exploratory cross-sectional study of migration, BMI and blood pressure in rural and urban Peruvian indigenous women
Internal migration and urbanisation are important determinants of health in Latin America, particularly among Indigenous populations. To evaluate associations of migration and health, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 185 Indigenous women in a rural Andean community (n = 92) and a low-income urban Lima community (n = 93). Migration status was defined by birthplace versus self-reported current residence. Anthropometry, blood pressure (BP), s…
Preliminary Ethnographic Analysis of Infant Complementary Foods in a Peruvian Quechua Community
This study examines infant feeding beliefs and practices in a rural Peruvian Quechua community. The aim was to assess which infant foods are considered culturally meaningful, and if concordance exists between beliefs and practices. Mothers were asked to free-list their child's "actual" first foods ( n = 85), then to free-list "ideal" infant foods ( n = 87). Food lists were analyzed for cultural salience. Mothers listed 43 foods; four (potato, maz…
Can women hunt? Yes. Did women contribute much to human evolution through endurance hunting? Probably not
A recent article by Ocobock and Lacy (Ocobock & Lacy, 2023) argues that human females are "just as, if not more, capable as males at performing arduous physical tasks" and therefore likely to have "meaningfully engaged in hunting during our evolutionary past."This is a direct challenge to the (generally accepted) canon that gendered subsistence activities are a key feature of the human ecological niche, with men typically contributing more to sub…
Urbanization, migration, and indigenous health in Peru
INTRODUCTION: We compare demographic, socioeconomic, and anthropometric characteristics and blood pressure (BP), between rural and urban Peruvian indigenous women. These are preliminary results from a project on urbanization, migration, and health. METHODS: Data were collected cross-sectionally (2019) and compared between a rural (n = 92) and an urban (n = 93) community. RESULTS: Height: μ = 148.3 ± 5.0 cm (range = 137-162), weight: μ = 62.0 ± 11…

Cesarean birth and the growth of Yucatec Maya and Toba/Qom children
OBJECTIVE: Cesarean delivery is often epidemiologically associated with childhood obesity. However, little attention is paid to post-birth modulatory environments, and most studies are conducted in settings where obesity arises for a number of reasons in addition to birth mode. We therefore assess population differences in the relationship between birth mode and childhood growth using data from rural and peri-urban Latin American indigenous popul…
Introduction
Birth mode, breastfeeding and childhood infectious morbidity in the Yucatec Maya
OBJECTIVES: Cesarean delivery is linked to breastfeeding complications and child morbidity. These outcomes may disproportionately affect Latin American indigenous populations that are experiencing rising cesarean delivery rates, but often inhabit environments that exacerbate postnatal morbidity risks. We therefore assess relationships between birth mode, infant feeding practices, and childhood infectious morbidity in a modernizing Yucatec Maya co…
Birth mode and infectious morbidity risks in Qom children of Argentina
OBJECTIVES: Cesarean delivery may increase childhood infectious morbidity risks via altered birth exposures and subsequent immune, microbial, and epigenetic development. Many Latin American indigenous populations experience dual burdens of infectious and chronic diseases, and are particularly vulnerable to rising rates of cesarean delivery and associated adverse outcomes. The Qom/Toba are an indigenous population in Argentina experiencing rapid l…

Childhood body mass is positively associated with cesarean birth in Y ucatec M aya subsistence farmers
OBJECTIVE: The epidemiologic link between cesarean birth and childhood obesity is unresolved, partly because most studies come from industrialized settings where many post-birth factors affect the risk for obesity. We take advantage of an unusual ethnographic situation where hospital and cesarean birth modes have recently been introduced among Yucatec Maya subsistence farmers, but young children have had minimal exposure to the nutritional transi…
Modernization is associated with intensive breastfeeding patterns in the Bolivian Amazon
Infant growth and the thymus
The thymus plays an important role in the development of the immune system, yet little is known about the patterns and sources of variation in postnatal thymic development. The aim of this study is to contribute cross‐cultural data on thymus size in infants from two South American native populations, the Tsimane of Bolivia and the Pumé of Venezuela. Thymic ultrasonography was performed and standard anthropometric measures collected from 86 Tsiman…
