The Estimation of Stature from the Tarsals: Enhancing the Disaster Victim Identification Process in Thailand Using the Calcaneus and the Talus
The impact of climate change is estimated to be particularly severe in Thailand, where climate change events are predicted to increase in both frequency and severity, resulting in a higher number of deaths in the region. Therefore, there is an urgent need for population-specific methodologies for the identification of unknown human remains in Thailand. The current study focuses on the calcaneus and the talus to establish an accurate method of liv…
The influence of biological affinity and sex on morphometric parameters of the clavicle in a South African sample
OBJECTIVES: The present study aims to investigate the influence of environmental and functional factors associated with biological affinity and musculature on sexual dimorphism of the clavicle, and to develop population-specific methods of sex estimation from the clavicle. METHODS: The maximum length of the clavicle (MAXL), the sagittal diameter of the clavicle (SAGD), and the vertical diameter of the clavicle (VERD) were measured. The left clavi…
Possible relationship between porotic hyperostosis and smallpox infections in nineteenth-century populations in the northern frontier, South Africa
Smallpox was a significant shaper of life histories for indigenous South African peoples during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It was responsible for the demise of entire social structures and even entire communities of peoples. Survival of smallpox affords the individual natural immunity for the remainder of his or her life. The virus is undetectable in a smallpox survivor, as he or she now possesses the antibodies for that disease. Th…
