Postpartum Maternal Mood Among Hadza Foragers of Tanzania
Human Maternal Placentophagy
Maternal placentophagy, although widespread among mammals, is conspicuously absent among humans cross-culturally. Recently, however, advocates for the practice have claimed it provides human postpartum benefits. Despite increasing awareness about placentophagy, no systematic research has investigated the motivations or perceived effects of practitioners. We surveyed 189 females who had ingested their placenta and found the majority of these women…
The “early life” origins of obesity‐related health disorders
Popular media reports concerning the causes of the current global obesity pandemic and its related sequelae—the cardiometabolic syndrome—are often couched in terms of dramatic changes in diet and lifestyle around the world; namely, drastically increasing dietary intakes of high energy foods and plummeting levels of daily physical activity—the hallmarks of the so called “nutrition transition.” Far less attention is generally drawn to the important…
The Conspicuous Absence of Placenta Consumption in Human Postpartum Females
The absence of human placentophagy, the maternal consumption of the afterbirth, is puzzling given its ubiquity and probable adaptive value in other mammals. We propose that human fire use may have led to placentophagy avoidance in our species. In our environment of evolutionary adaptedness, gravid women would likely have been regularly exposed to smoke and ash, which is known to contain harmful substances. Because the placenta filters some toxica…
In Search of Human Placentophagy
Maternal placentophagy, the consumption of the placenta or "afterbirth" by the mother following parturition, is an ubiquitous behavior among eutherian mammals, including non-human primates. Here we report on a cross-cultural survey of 179 human societies regarding the consumption, treatment, and disposal of human placenta, in addition to accompanying cultural beliefs and perceptions about the organ. The conspicuous absence of cultural traditions …
Exploring the thrifty genotype's food-shortage assumptions
The "thrifty genotype hypothesis" has become firmly entrenched as one of the orienting concepts in biomedical anthropology, since first being proposed by Neel (1962 Am. J. Hum. Genet. 14:353-362) over 40 years ago. Its influence on inquiries into the evolutionary origins of diabetes, lactose tolerance, and other metabolic disorders can hardly be underestimated, as evidenced by its continued citation in many top scientific and medical journals. Ho…
Type 2 Diabetes and Fetal Origins
Recent diabetes research is challenging the longstanding emphasis on the primary role genes play in the type 2 diabetes epidemic among Native American and other high prevalence populations. Increasingly, “thrifty genotype” models are being reevaluated and modi?ed in order to accommodate experimental and epidemiological research that highlights the powerful effects of the prenatal environment in the development of the disorder. This body of resear…
A reconsideration of the origins of the type 2 diabetes epidemic among native Americans and the implications for intervention policy
Type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in many Native American communities in North America. The overwhelming majority of physicians, biomedical researchers, and medical ecologists continue to explain the astoundingly high prevalence rates of diabetes among Native Americans and other high prevalence populations in terms of yet-to-be-identified genetic factors. Recent experimental and epidemiological research, however, has brought to lig…
