Amazonian foods and implications for human biology
Diets of subsistence-based Amazonian populations have been linked to local resources, but are changing with market penetration.To review the available data on traditional Amazonian foods and diets and evaluate their implications for human biology as a step toward understanding nutrition transitions in the region.This study used the Human Relations Area Files for information on the diets of Amerindian groups in the Amazon Basin from 1950 to the pr…
Exploring the multidimensionality of stature variation in the past through comparisons of archaeological and living populations
Adult stature variation is commonly attributed to differential stress‐levels during development. However, due to selective mortality and heterogeneous frailty, a population's tall stature may be more indicative of high selective pressures than of positive life conditions. This article examines stature in a biocultural context and draws parallels between bioarchaeological and living populations to explore the multidimensionality of stature variati…
Nutritional status of Makushi Amerindian children and adolescents of Guyana
Makushi nutritional status may be explained by sex, age, relative isolation, family size, season of birth, dietary intake and infectious disease
Ethnobotanical Evidence for Cultivar Selection among the Tukanoans: Manioc (Manihot esculentaCrantz) in the Northwest Amazaon
Manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a cyanidecontaining root crop that is cultivated by many indigenous groups in Amazonia. Although the Tukanoans of the Northwest Amazon grow low cyanogenic-potential (CNP) manioc, high-CNP manioc, requiring detoxification prior to consumption, provides over 80 percent of the calories they consume. The purpose of this paper is to determine which characteristics of manioc are most important to the Tukanoans in th…
