Larger spleens and greater splenic contraction during exercise may be an adaptive characteristic of Nepali Sherpa at high‐altitude
Objectives The Sherpa ethnic group living at altitude in Nepal may have experienced natural selection in response to chronic hypoxia. We have previously shown that Sherpa in Kathmandu (1400 m) possess larger spleens and a greater apnea‐induced splenic contraction compared to lowland Nepalis. This may be significant for exercise capacity at altitude as the human spleen responds to stress‐induced catecholamine secretion by an immediate contraction,…
Genetic adaptations to potato starch digestion in the Peruvian Andes
Towards an interdisciplinary perspective for the study of human expansions and biocultural diversity in the Americas
Testing interobserver and intraobserver agreement of the original and revised Coimbra Methods
In 2009, the Coimbra Method was created to standardize observations of entheseal changes, which are often studied as markers of vigorous physical activity formed during life. Low percentage agreement rates of interobserver replicability led to a revised version of the Coimbra Method published in 2016. Robust statistical significance should be expected of a standardized method, yet neither published method statistically tested interobserver and in…
