Bioethics Recommendations to Increase Culturally Informed Global Health Survey Research
Global health projects—a source of inspiration and collaboration for applied human biology—benefit scholars, governments, NGOs, and aid organizations. While such research is intended to improve population health, direct benefits to individuals and communities are often excluded from published works and/or not considered in study designs and framing. This exclusion is increasingly recognized as a colonial legacy that hinders global health equity, …
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…
Relationship of Estradiol and Progesterone with Partnership and Parity Among Bangladeshi and British Women of European Origin
Critical medical anthropology
Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no new data were created or analyzed in this study
More voices are always better
We conclude by reflecting on our own positions along the colonially rooted power gradients structuring human biology. We argue that doing so constitutes an essential early step toward creating anticolonial spaces for more ethical and just production, consumption, and application of knowledge
No impact of developmental conditions on serum estradiol levels among Bangladeshi women in the UK and Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION: While many aspects of female ovarian function respond to environmental stressors, estradiol (E2) appears less sensitive to stressors than progesterone, except under extreme ecological conditions. However, earlier studies relied on saliva samples, considered less sensitive than blood. Here, we investigated E2 variation among 177 Bangladeshi and UK white women, aged 35-59, using single serum samples. Bangladeshi women either grew up i…

Comparing different sample collection and storage methods for field‐based skin microbiome research
OBJECTIVES: The skin, as well as its microbial communities, serves as the primary interface between the human body and the surrounding environment. In order to implement the skin microbiome into human biology research, there is a need to explore the effects of different sample collection and storage methodologies, including the feasibility of conducting skin microbiome studies in field settings. METHODS: We collected 99 skin microbiome samples fr…
Hey child, why were you born when the world is almost over?”
Asociación entre seguridad alimentaria, indicadores de estado nutricional y de salud en poblaciones de Latinoamérica
El objetivo fue caracterizar la producción científica en Latinoamérica sobre la relación de la seguridad alimentaria (SA) con indicadores de salud y estado nutricional. Se realizó una revisión documental y se localizaron estudios en las bases electrónicas PubMed, Google Académico y SciELO. Se emplearon los vocablos: "seguridad" "alimentaria" "América" "Latina". Se identificaron 39 artículos que abordaron la SA y su relación con el estado nutricio…

Secular trends in age at menarche in 20th century Mexico
Objectives This study aims to assess the secular trend in age at menarche (AAM) in Mexico over the 20th century, and compare the patterns according to area of residence (rural/urban), socioeconomic status (SES), and ethnicity (indigenous/nonindigenous). Methods Data on AAM from 24 380 women aged ≥20 years born between 1906 and 1986 were obtained from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2006. Birth cohorts were compared to test for a …
Proyecto DeMano
Full forum is in Spanish. English Abstract: Interview with the coordinators of the DeMano project, who work with multidisciplinary perspectives of food insecurity in milpa-producing families in Ocotepec, Mexico. We talk about their achievements and the challenges for programs oriented to developing skills for both raising children and women’s empowerment; sustainable production in milpas and orchards; and human ecology and maternal and child heal…
From the Holocene to the Anthropocene
The impact of developmental conditions on adult salivary estradiol levels
Women living in energetically stressful conditions have significantly lower baseline salivary steroid levels compared to those in affluent environments. Developmental hypotheses suggest that interpopulation variation in ovarian function results from contrasting environments experienced during growth. We use a migrant study of Bangladeshi women to test this hypothesis. We compared middle‐class women (19–39 years) who migrated to London, UK, at dif…
Betel Nut Use among First and Second Generation Bangladeshi Women in London, UK
Effect of chewing betel nut on measurements of salivary progesterone and estradiol
The measurement of steroids in saliva is both simple and non‐invasive and has been widely used in field and clinical‐based research. The observance of particular cultural practices by some populations, however, may hamper accurate hormonal analyses. The present study evaluated the effects of one such practice—the chewing of betel nut—on the accurate measurement of salivary progesterone and estradiol. A time series experiment was conducted among B…
