Lead isotope analysis of intra-skeletal variation in a 19th century mental asylum cemetery
Living bone sequesters environmental lead (Pb) from both inhalation and ingestion, providing a record of Pb exposure over a lifetime. Questions about the effects of diagenesis and how to remove them have hampered most isotopic and elemental determinations. As a result, researchers often restrict their analyses to tooth enamel, despite its limitations. We report Pb isotopes in teeth and bones in a frontier population of 15 individuals from a late …

New Evidence for a Late Introduction of Malaria into the New World [and Comments and Reply]
New evidence is offered to strengthen the case for a post-Conquest introduction of malaria into the New World. An investigation of human physiological factors influencing host selection by malaria vectors revealed a strong preference by Anopheles gambiae for human hosts with blood-group O. The unique, overwhelming group-O frequency present among indigenous American populations is seen as a result of mother-child ABO incompatibility effects operat…
