Market Integration Improves Traditional Hadza Male Childhood Health with no Effect on Females
While market integration sometimes benefits one sex or disadvantages the other, its impact on hunter-gatherer populations with subtle pre-existing sex-based dynamics remains understudied. We examined linear enamel hypoplasias, a biomarker of developmental stress in teeth, using time series analysis spanning 40 years in a sample of 81 bush-living Hadza. Results show that Hadza men born after the mid-1970s) experienced less early childhood stress t…
Global processes of anthropogenesis characterise the early Anthropocene in the Japanese Islands
Although many scholars date the onset of the Anthropocene to the Industrial Revolution or the post-1945 ‘Great Acceleration’, there is growing interest in understanding earlier human impacts on the earth system. Research on the ‘Palaeoanthropocene’ has investigated the role of fire, agriculture, trade, urbanisation and other anthropogenic impacts. While there is increasing consensus that such impacts were more important than previously realised, …
Sexual dimorphism and biomechanical loading in occipital bone morphological variation
We explore the contribution of biological sex and biomechanical activity from subsistence to occipital bone variation. Previous studies have used occipital bone traits to determine biological sex and identify ancestry to differing degrees of success. Biomechanical stress from variation in subsistence and gender-based divisions of labor could perhaps explain some of the noise in the signal for these grouping variables. To explore this possibility,…
Surveillance, trust, and policing at music festivals
Music festivals are often the highlight of summertime, but they are also spaces increasingly policed for drugs, pickpockets, sexual assault, and terrorist attacks. The pop‐up nature of festival spaces creates a tension between organizers ensuring safe environments and festival‐goers seeking community and fun. We conducted an online survey of festival‐goers to determine their safety concerns and feelings about security measures. The biggest safety…
Sensory disruption and sensory inequities in the Anthropocene
Anthropogenic disruptions to animal sensory ecology are as old as our species. But what about the effect on human sensory ecology? Human sensory dysfunction is increasing globally at great economic and health costs (mental, physical, and social). Contemporary sensory problems are directly tied to human behavioral changes and activity as well as anthropogenic pollution. The evolutionary sensory ecology and anthropogenic disruptions to three human …
Field‐testing olfactory ability to understand human olfactory ecology
OBJECTIVES: We know little about human olfactory ability in natural settings because current knowledge derives from lab-based studies using nonrepresentative samples of convenience. The primary objective was to use a validated lab tool, the five-item odor identification test, to assess variation in olfactory ability in different environments. METHODS: Using the five-item test, we conducted two repeated measures experiments that assessed participa…
Smart Festivals? Security and Freedom for Well-Being in Urban Smart Spaces
In this article we use the natural lab of music festivals to examine behavioral change in response to the rapid introduction of smart surveillance technology into formerly unpoliced spaces. Festivals are liminal spaces, free from the governance of everyday social norms and regulations, permitting participants to assert a desired self. Due to a number of recent festival deaths, drug confiscations, pickpockets, and a terroristic mass shooting, fest…
Resilience in prehistoric persistent hunter–gatherers in northwest Kyushu, Japan as assessed by population health and archaeological evidence
Variation in regional diet and mandibular morphology in prehistoric Japanese hunter–gatherer–fishers
West Nile virus, climate change, and circumpolar vulnerability
Climate has strong impacts on the spatial ranges of vector‐borne infectious diseases as well as the timing and intensity of disease outbreaks; these and shifting challenges to human health driven by future climate change are critical concerns. Many diseases of tropical origin, including West Nile virus ( WNV ), are sensitive to climate and likely to change their distributions in the coming decades. The 1999 outbreak of WNV in North America is an …
Occupation Mediates Ecosystem Services with Human Well-Being
The 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment linked ecosystem services, the benefits people obtain from ecosystems, directly with four constituents of human well-being: security, basic material for good life, health, and freedom of choice and action. No explicit model of the role of human activity in the transformation of ecosystem services into well-being was, however, developed by the Assessment and the connective relations between ecosystem servic…
Prospects and challenges for an archaeology of global climate change
Archaeology has a long history of research in reconstructing past environments and in attempting to understand the interactions between climate and human societies. So far, however, there has been little attempt by archaeologists to employ this knowledge in the debate over current global climate change. This paper provides a broad overview of the relevance of archaeology to the problem of global climate change, yet also attempts to consider some …
Smell with inspiration
The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the mammalian genome (and larger than any other gene family in any other species), comprising 1% of genes. Beginning with a genetic radiation in reptiles roughly 200 million years ago, terrestrial vertebrates can detect millions of odorants. Each species has an olfactory repertoire unique to the genetic makeup of that species. The human olfactory repertoire is quite diverse. Contrary to erroneo…
The Geography of Smell
I edited this sitting in an airport inhaling the scent of my wine to hide the odour of the person next to me. Returning home, I found the Alaskan spring air fresh with the mineral scent of melting snow and the first hints of new growth. Odours punctuate life, whether we choose them to or not. In this guest editorial, I discuss how we passively and actively experience smell and how this relates to our intellectual and experiential sense of space a…
Temporal variation and interaction between nutritional and developmental instability in prehistoric Japanese populations
We examined nutritional and developmental instability in prehistoric Japan, using data from 49 individuals across 13 archaeological sites. Hypoplasia incidence was used as a measure of nutritional stress, and fluctuating asymmetry (of upper facial breath, orbital breadth, and orbital height) as an indirect assessment of developmental instability. Abundant resources due to a stable climate during the Middle Jomon (5,000–3,000 BP) encouraged popula…
Exploring the relationship between hypoplasia and odontometric asymmetry in Isola Sacra, an imperial roman necropolis
Anthropological studies reporting odontometric asymmetry values or dental enamel hypoplasia frequencies use these markers as a record of physiological perturbations occurring during dental development. While both markers indirectly suggest the amount of relative stress a population might have experienced, a relationship between the two has been explored only recently in the literature. In this study, we address the possibility of such a relations…
