Morphological differentiation of aboriginal human populations from Tierra del Fuego (Patagonia): Implications for South American peopling
This study aims to integrate the craniofacial morphological variation of southern South American populations with the results of mtDNA haplogroup variation, to discuss the South America peopling. Because the causes of morphological differentiation of Fueguian populations are still a controversial subject, the comparison with neutral variation could contribute to elucidate them. Samples of human remains from South America regions were used to anal…
Exploring Dietary Patterns in the Southernmost Limit of Prehispanic Agriculture in America by Using Bayesian Stable Isotope Mixing Models
The contribution of maize to the diet of prehispanic populations that inhabited Mendoza Province, the thensouthernmost limit of agriculture in America, has been largely debated. Recently, on the basis of d13C data, it was suggested that cacti may mimic the pattern of human isotopic values attributed to maize consumption in this region. These studies relied on a univariate qualitative approach not suitable for accurately identifying dietary contri…
Ontogeny of robusticity of craniofacial traits in modern humans: A study of South American populations
To date, differences in craniofacial robusticity among modern and fossil humans have been primarily addressed by analyzing adult individuals; thus, the developmental basis of such differentiation remains poorly understood. This article aims to analyze the ontogenetic development of craniofacial robusticity in human populations from South America. Geometric morphometric methods were used to describe cranial traits in lateral view by using landmark…

Canalization and developmental instability of the fetal skull in a mouse model of maternal nutritional stress
Nutritional imbalance is one of the main sources of stress in both extant and extinct human populations. Restricted availability of nutrients is thought to disrupt the buffering mechanisms that contribute to developmental stability and canalization, resulting in increased levels of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and phenotypic variance among individuals. However, the literature is contradictory in this regard. This study assesses the effect of prenat…

Differences between sliding semi‐landmark methods in geometric morphometrics, with an application to human craniofacial and dental variation
Over the last decade, geometric morphometric methods have been applied increasingly to the study of human form. When too few landmarks are available, outlines can be digitized as series of discrete points. The individual points must be slid along a tangential direction so as to remove tangential variation, because contours should be homologous from subject to subject whereas their individual points need not. This variation can be removed by minim…
Variation and causal factors of craniofacial robusticity in Patagonian hunter-gatherers from the late Holocene
Fueguian-Patagonian skulls have been characterized as some of the most robust of any modern crania. However, the causal factors of such robusticity remain unsettled. We assess within- and among-sample cranial robusticity of seven samples from continental Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, using geometric morphometric techniques. In addition, the biomechanical, phylogenetic, and climatic hypotheses proposed to account for robusticity in such samples …
