The Importance of Aquatic Foods and Environments for the Early Hominin Brain
Diet was critical to the growing early Homo brain, which required brain-selective nutrients such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), iodine, and iron for growth. Fish and shellfish were optimal sources of these nutrients. The fruit and vegetal diet of the earliest hominins, however, contained few of these nutrients. Early Homo and the australopithecines emerged along with changing environments including spreading grasslands and extreme temperatures. T…
Cognitive differences between healthy monolingual and bilingual anglophones on the English version of the Dépistage Cognitif de Québec
Aims and Objectives: Cognitive abilities between monolingual and bilingual individuals may differ, making it an important factor to consider during the administration of cognitive screening tools. Otherwise, assessments could be subject to misinterpretation, leading to possible inaccurate diagnoses. The current project aimed to compare cognitive performance of healthy older monolingual and bilingual anglophones on the English version of a new cog…

N -3 Fatty acid intake from marine food products among Quebecers
Objective To quantify marine food product consumption and EPA + DHA intake among Quebecers, and to compare the results with the most recent recommendations. Design Data were obtained from a representative cross-sectional telephone survey (June 2006). Intakes of marine food product species and EPA + DHA were estimated from a validated FFQ on the consumption of marine food products during the previous month. Prevalence of fish oil consumption in th…
Docosahexaenoic acid and shore‐based diets in hominin encephalization
Carlson and Kingston ([ 2007 ]: Am J Hum Biol 19:132–141) propose that preformed dietary docosahexaenoic acid (an omega‐3 fatty acid in fish) did not have a significant role in hominin encephalization. Their position hinges on claiming that humans are able to make sufficient docosahexaenoic acid from the plant‐based “parent” omega‐3 fatty acid—α‐linolenic acid. They also suggest that hominin fish consumption occurred too late to have materially i…
