Evidence for new Neanderthal teeth in Tabun Cave (Israel) by the application of self-organizing maps (SOMs)
Age at menarche and age of onset of pubertal characteristics in 6–14‐year‐old girls from the Province of L'Aquila (Abruzzo, Italy)
The present study is part of a research project on growth models of children in an area of central‐southern Italy. It analyzes the phases of pubertal breast development (BD) in 397 girls, pubic hair development (PHD) in 399 girls, and menarche in 583 girls from 6–14 years old. The status quo method was used to evaluate the age at menarche. Probit analysis was used to analyze the data for all three variables. The onset of BD and PHD (Tanner stage …
Age of onset of pubertal characteristics in boys aged 6–14 years of the Province of L’Aquila (Abruzzo, Italy)
These results are in line with those for several European and industrialized countries and do not show a significantly earlier onset of sexual maturation
Natality and the Changing Pattern of Seasonality of Births in the Province of Teramo (Abruzzo, Italy
Reconstruction of human ecosystems and their stability over time provides knowledge of the processes of adaptability developed by isolated communities. Seasonality of vital events is a good indicator of the effects of different ‘traditional’ lifestyles, which in turn depend on the ecological context in which a population developed specific subsistence models. Seasonality of births reflects the cultural attitude towards the best time to conceive, …
Height and secular trend in conscripts born in the Central Apennines (Italy), 1865-1972
The results confirm that the mean heights in south-central Italy, including Abruzzo, were lower than those of the more economically advanced regions of northern Italy in each period. The difference has decreased greatly in the last few generations, but the secular trend is continuing in these communities. This seems to be due to prolonged isolation which has retarded economic development and favoured endogamy and genetic drift. However, it has al…
Genetic structure of the population of Sicily
Genetic heterogeneity within Sicily was investigated on the basis of ACP1, ADA, ESD, GLO1, PGD, PGM1, PGM2, SODA, ABO, and MN gene frequencies, and compared to those of other regions of Italy for which these same loci have been examined. Correspondence analysis revealed no differences within the island, at least at the provincial level, but showed genetic differentiation among Italian regions, distinctly clustering northern, central, and southern…
Correspondence analysis of digital dermatoglyphics in sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar
Geographical variation of digital dermatoglyphics in Africa
Data from 142 male and 43 female samples of African populations have been used to analyze the geographical variation of digital dermatoglyphics (arches, loops, whorls, and pattern intensity index) in Africa. The patterns of geographical variation have been summarized as contours of sixth‐degree polynomial surfaces by means of trend‐surface analysis. As pointed out by early studies, Africa exhibits geographical clines of digital dermatoglyphic pat…
Morphologic variability of human African populations south of the Sahara
Morphometric relationships between seventeen tribes of Cyrenaica (Libya)
