The Remarkable Change in Euro-American Cranial Shape and Size
Secular changes in stature, weight, or other components of the body that can be obtained from historical records have been extensively studied. Cranial change has been central to anthropology for more than a century, but the focus has normally been on change measured in centuries or millennia. Cranial change measured in decades, normally considered to result from plastic response to the environment, has been less studied. This article reports on …
The Effect of Novel Environments on Modern American Skeletons
The Effect of Novel Environments on Modern American Skeletons Natalie R Langley, Richard L Jantz, and Stephen D Ousley key words skeletal biology, secular changes, plasticity, stature, epigenetics The articles in this special issue describe secular change analyses that were presented at a symposium held at the 2012 meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. The purpose of the symposium was to present and synthesize findings …
Secular Changes in the Postcranial Skeleton of American Whites
Secular change in height has been extensively investigated, but size and shape of the postcranial skeleton much less so. The availability of large, documented collections of nineteenth- and twentieth-century skeletons makes it possible to examine changes in skeletal structure over the past 150 years. We examined secular changes in long bone lengths and proportions, their allometric relationship to stature, and crosssectional properties of long bo…
An Examination of the Differential Effects of the Modern Epidemiological Transition on Cranial Morphology in the United States and Portugal
This research examines the pattern of secular change in the cranial morphology of two populations experiencing the epidemiological transition associated with decreased mortality rates in children, followed by declines in infant mortality and subsequent increases in adult longevity. The two samples examined in this study come from US and Portuguese individuals. The epidemiological transition occurred at different times in the United States and Por…
