Natural selection and developmental sexual variation in the human pelvis
This research examines ontological patterns of change in variation of the human pelvis as a means of identifying regions of differential growth, growth canalization and evidence of selection. Data were derived from pelvic radiogrammetry of 180 8‐year‐olds and 89 subjects at age 18 who were part of the Fels Longitudinal Growth Study. Coefficients of variation (CVs) and total growth increments were compared between sexes and between ages 8 and 18 f…
Biological Anthropology
Science, Nutrition, Fat, and Policy
Supplementation of the diets of pregnant and nursing mothers in underdeveloped countries is sometimes criticized because more food for these women is seen as producing more body fat, shortened postpartum amenorrhea, and increased fertility. We argue that the link between body fat and shortened postpartum amenorrhea is based on a hypothesis that has not been corroborated. The critical-fat hypothesis is that menarche, maintenance of menstrual cycle…
Relationship between initial fatness level and long‐term fatness change
As shown in 2576 individuals followed over a two‐decade period, there is a direct and linear relationship between initial fatness level and long‐term fatness change. Those who are lean initially show the greatest fatness gains and those who are obese show the greatest fatness losses. These systematic relationships between fatness level and fatness change, which hold for both sexes and for children and adults alike, challenge the notion that fatne…
Obesity and Living Together
As shown by parent-child, sibling and twin correlations and by comparison of the children of different parental fatness combinations, fatness definitely follows family line. Indeed, fatness level can be predicted from grandparental fatness levels and from the number of obese family members living together. However, a purely genetic explanation for the level of fatness and actual obesity is untenable given fatness similarities of spouses, parents …
