Cambio secular de la estatura de poblaciones de la Cuenca de México en la época prehispánica
Diversos trabajos sugieren una tendencia hacia la disminución en la estatura adulta conforme aumenta la dependencia de la agricultura en las distintas poblaciones humanas. En este trabajo analizamos los patrones de variación de la estatura humana adulta en poblaciones que habitaron la Cuenca de México desde épocas tempranas. Hemos implementado el análisis de normalidad de la varianza (ANOVA) y el modelo Relethford-Blangero y nuestros resultados, …
Disentangling Signatures of Selection Before and After European Colonization in Latin Americans
Throughout human evolutionary history, large-scale migrations have led to intermixing (i.e., admixture) between previously separated human groups. Although classical and recent work have shown that studying admixture can yield novel historical insights, the extent to which this process contributed to adaptation remains underexplored. Here, we introduce a novel statistical model, specific to admixed populations, that identifies loci under selectio…
Sex estimation using humeral and femoral head diameters in contemporary and prehispanic mexican populations
In bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology the most reliable skeletal element for sex estimation is the pelvis; nevertheless, when it is missing, other postcranial elements must be used. The main goal of this research is to provide sectioning points for sex assessment from humeral and femoral head diameters for three prehispanic and two contemporary Mexican populations. Using a sliding caliper, a total of 386 (45.3% female and 54.6% male) humera…
Nueva evidencia de un esqueleto humano del Holoceno temprano procedente de Tláhuac
El objetivo de este trabajo es dar a conocer un hallazgo de restos humanos del llamado periodo precerámico, ocurrido de forma accidental al sur de la cuenca de México, en el poblado de Tláhuac de la Ciudad de México. Son los restos de un esqueleto casi completo, aunque en estado multifragmentado, a excepción del cráneo. El análisis osteológico indica que se trata de un individuo adulto joven de sexo femenino, al que hemos denominado la Mujer de T…
Recalibration of the Klales et al. (2012) method of sexing the human innominate for Mexican populations
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to test the accuracy of the Klales et al. (2012) equation for sex estimation in contemporary Mexican population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our investigation was carried out on a sample of 203 left innominates of identified adult skeletons from the UNAM-Collection and the Santa María Xigui Cemetery, in Central Mexico. The Klales' original equation produces a sex bias in sex estimation against males (86-92% accura…
Relación entre tratamiento hormonal, cirugía-ortodoncia maxilofacial, traumatismos y malformaciones craneofaciales y la asimetría fluctuante
En este trabajo se evalúa la relación entre la asimetría fluctuante facial (AFF) y los tratamientos hormonales, cirugías maxilofaciales, ortodoncia, traumatismos y malformaciones. En el marco del proyecto CANDELA, se tomaron cinco fotografías faciales de 3162 voluntarios entre los 18 y 85 años. Por fotogrametría se colocaron 34 landmarks o puntos en 3D y mediante el método Procrustes ANOVA se obtuvieron valores individuales de asimetría fluctuant…
Shifts in subsistence type and its impact on the human skull's morphological integration
OBJECTIVE: Here we evaluate morphological integration patterns and magnitudes in different skull regions to detect if shifts in morphological integration are correlated to the appearance of more processed (softer) diets. METHODS: To do so, three transitional populations were analyzed, including samples from groups that inhabited the same geographical region and for which the evidence shows that major changes occurred in their subsistence mode. Ni…
Facial asymmetry and genetic ancestry in L atin A merican admixed populations
Fluctuating and directional asymmetry are aspects of morphological variation widely used to infer environmental and genetic factors affecting facial phenotypes. However, the genetic basis and environmental determinants of both asymmetry types is far from being completely known. The analysis of facial asymmetries in admixed individuals can be of help to characterize the impact of a genome's heterozygosity on the developmental basis of both fluctua…
FGFR1 signaling is associated with the magnitude of morphological integration in human head shape
OBJECTIVES: The head can be used as a model to study complex phenotypes controlled simultaneously by morphological integration (MI) due to common factors, and modular patterns caused by local factors affecting the development and functional demands of specific structures. The fibroblast growth factor and receptor system (FGF/FGFR) participates in cell communication and pattern formation in osseous tissues, among others, and there is compelling ev…
Technical Note
The greater sciatic notch (GSN) is one of the most important and frequently used characteristics for determining the sex of skeletons, but objective assessment of this characteristic is not without its difficulties. We tested the robustness of GSN sex classification on the basis of geometric morphometrics (GM) and support vector machines (SVM), using two different population samples. Using photographs, the shape of the GSN in 229 samples from two…
Posthumous Body Manipulation in the Classic Period Mixtequilla
Our interdisciplinary study provides new information and interpretations of Ossuary I, a large assemblage of human bones associated with the ceremonial center dedicated to a life-size clay figure of a splendidly attired human skeleton (often identified as Mictlantecuhtli in the archaeological literature) at the site of El Zapotal in south-central Veracruz-Recovered in 1971, this assemblage has been interpreted as a ritual deposit of women who die…
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 ( FGFR1 ) variants and craniofacial variation in Amerindians and related populations
FGFR1 polymorphisms, especially rs4647905, can have an important role in the normal human skull variation, primarily due to their influence in head length, which would affect other cephalometric absolute/linear measures as well as indices like CI as a result of the pervasive nature of the morphological integration that characterizes the human skull
