Understanding global dementia burden
IntroductionDementia incidence is rising worldwide, driven largely by population ageing and demographic transition. Although dietary factors have been proposed as modifiable contributors, the role of dairy consumption remains unclear, with inconsistent findings across regions, populations, and product types. Study aim This study examined whether total dairy supply independently predicts dementia incidence at the population level after accounting …
Predicting Prosociality in Primates
Prosocial co-operation is critical for evolution and survival on Earth and has crucially shaped the development of Homo sapiens. Inter-brain neural synchronization (IBNS) has been shown to enhance prosocial co-operation in mammals and avians. The selection pressures which led to the development of IBNS throughout primate evolution are currently unknown. This paper aims to expand the understanding of IBNS in non-human primates by reviewing the lit…
Marginalized Communities During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all walks of life in Indonesia, forcing society to adapt. As one of the gender minority groups in a relatively conservative country, the pandemic might impact the transgender community differently. The purpose of this research is to analyze transgender individuals’ adaptation during the pandemic. We employed the qualitative descriptive research method by conducting in-depth interviews with 10 informants from sev…
Priawan in Indonesia
Topics surrounding transmasculinity, especially in Indonesia, are still overlooked, degraded, and understudied. This paper aims to explore the experience of priawan in Indonesia. Differentiating from the globally-renowned term 'trans men', a priawan identifies as a female-to-male transmasculine individual. We conducted in-depth interviews with eleven qualified informants. These interviews shed light on gender dysphoria or fluidity, gender-affirmi…
Hominin musical sound production
In this article we seek to integrate theories of music origins and dance with hominin fossil anatomy and the paleoecological contexts of hominin evolution. Based on the association between rhythm in music, dance and locomotion, we propose that early bipedal hominins may have evolved neurobiological substrates different from other great apes due to the rhythmic aspects of bipedal walking and running. Combined with the emancipation of the hands res…
Possible future evolutionary consequences to Homo as a result of the implementation of biotechnology
Biotechnology has become one of the most powerful forces on the planet, since it is capable of altering life processes at a molecular level. Since human bodies are dynamic biological systems, medicine requires to understand the evolutionary antecedents of Homo, especially in relation to neurohormonal regulation. Furthermore, increasing human dependence on biotechnology has led to relaxed natural selection in Homo, with subsequent increase of gene…
Investigating the dentoalveolar complex in archaeological human skull specimens
Archaeological investigation of the dentoalveolar complex in situ within a human skull requires detailed measurements using non‐invasive techniques. Standard macroscopic and radiographic methods have limitations but large volume micro‐computed tomography (LV micro‐CT) scanning has the potential to acquire data at high resolution in microns. In this study, archaeological specimens are analyzed using three‐dimensional data visualization software fr…
A morphological comparison between a death mask of the American Prophet Joseph Smith and a photograph likely to depict him
Application of forensic identification methods to establish authenticity of a historical photograph is made. Joseph Smith Junior was the Prophet and founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often referred to as Mormons. In 1844 Joseph and his brother Hyrum were shot and killed by a mob of angry men who opposed his church and its followers. Shortly after death, Joseph's face was moulded, and a death mask was made. Photography wa…
Was it worth migrating to the new British industrial colony of South Australia? Evidence from skeletal pathologies and historic records of a sample of 19th-century settlers
‘Do dead men tell no tales?’ The geographic origin of a colonial period Anglican cemetery population in Adelaide, South Australia, determined by isotope analyses
Tooth enamel and dentine samples from 13 individuals buried in the unmarked ‘free ground’ colonial section of St Mary’s Anglican Cemetery in Adelaide were analysed for oxygen and strontium isotopic composition to assist with the determination of their geographic origin. As the life history of these individuals is not well-documented in the historical record, isotopic data provide important information about migration and mobility in a colonial So…

The ontogenesis of metrical traits may be described by means of logistic curves. A logistic curve is being adjusted to individual trait values through the employment of the trial-and-error method
Sacral Spina Bifida Occulta
Substantial relaxation of natural selection beginning around 1900 changed the mutation/selection balance of modern genetic material, producing an increase in variable anatomical structures. While multiple structures have been affected, the temporal increase in variations of the sacrum, specifically, 'Sacral Spina Bifida Occulta,' have been reliably demonstrated on a localised scale. Calculation of largescale frequency has been hindered by the loc…
Evolution of modern humans is a result of self-amplifying feedbacks beginning in the Miocene and continuing without interruption until now
Humans are a part of the complex system of life. This consists of a multitude of feedbacks among all parts of living systems. In the case of human origins, many feedbacks became positive rather than homeostatic, thus producing self-amplifying effects in basic morphological and behavioural characteristics of emerging humans: erect bipedalism, social structure, tool-making, food procurement and environmental management, symbolic communication, sexu…
Genetic load and biological changes to extant humans
Extant humans are currently increasing their genetic load, which is informing present and future human microevolution. This has been a gradual process that has been rising over the last centuries as a consequence of improved sanitation, nutritional improvements, advancements in microbiology and medical interventions, which have relaxed natural selection. Moreover, a reduction in infant and child mortality and changing societal attitudes towards f…
Secular changes in human reproduction and assisted reproductive technologies
Since the middle to late 20th century the majority of children born in the developing world have been likely to enter into post-reproductive age. Currently, child mortality is at its lowest level in human history. While more children are living to post reproductive age, approximately 15% of couples are experiencing infecundity. This is either a result of one or both members of the couple being infecund, or, despite both being fecund, the interact…
Paleospecies as cognitive construct
Creation and subsequent abandonment of a number of earlier species considered human ancestors: Eoanthropus dawsoni, Hesperopithecus haroldcooki, Homo gardarensis and Ramapithecus punjabicus is presented using cases from the history of science. This review indicates that the fossil evidence for these species has been questionable from the beginning but that mental images – memes – they invoked were attractive to students of human evolution and as …
A rare case of pancraniosynostosis observed in a historical skull from the 19 th century cranial collection named “Królestwo Polskie” (“Polish Kingdom”)
Rare diseases are a challenge in paleopathological research, mainly due to the ambiguity of skeletal signs, bad preservation state of the material, and lack of the reference material. The aim of our article is to present the skull characterized by the decreased values of the metrical traits and numerous pathological features of the cranial morphology and make an attempt to determine the possible cause of the observed anomalies. The subject of our…
Neurosurgical robots and ethical challenges to medicine
Over the last 20 yr, neurosurgical robots have been increasingly assisting in neurosurgical procedures. Surgical robots are considered to have noticeable advantages over humans, such as reduction of procedure time, surgical dexterity, no experience of fatigue and improved healthcare outcomes. In recent years, neurosurgical robots have been developed to perform various procedures. Public demand is informing the direction of neurosurgery and placin…
Interpopulational variation in human brain size
Throughout the hominin lineage brain size is believed to have increased threefold – increase which, it is argued by some researchers, results in the enhanced brain power that distinguishes humans from any other living being. However, as we demonstrate in this article this supposed increase is the result of comparing the species mean of contemporary humans with other great apes and fossil hominins. This method obscures both interpopulational varia…
Cognitive and behavioral modernity in Homo erectus
In this article we provide evidence that evolutionary pressures altered the cranial base and the mastoid region of the temporal bone more than the calvaria in the transition from H. erectus to H. sapiens. This process seems to have resulted in the evolution of more globular skull shape - but not as a result of expansion of the brain in the parietal regions but of reduction of the cranial base and the mastoid region relative to the parietals. Cons…

Gluten consumption may contribute to worldwide obesity prevalence
Gluten consumption has been controversially associated with obesity in previous studies. We sought to examine this association at the worldwide level. Country specific data were obtained from 168 countries. Scatter plots, bivariate, partial correlation and multiple linear regression models were used to explore and compare the coincidence between obesity prevalence and consumption of gluten, non-gluten cereal protein and total cereal protein respe…
Advancing the understanding of treponemal disease in the past and present
Syphilis was perceived to be a new disease in Europe in the late 15th century, igniting a debate about its origin that continues today in anthropological, historical, and medical circles. We move beyond this age‐old debate using an interdisciplinary approach that tackles broader questions to advance the understanding of treponemal infection (syphilis, yaws, bejel, and pinta). How did the causative organism(s) and humans co‐evolve? How did the rel…
Predicting longevity from the line of life
Palmistry or Chiromancy is the art of reading lines on the palm of the hands. Today, many researchers believe that the lines on the palms of the hands can predict the individual’s future. Computer programs are being designed which can automatically read the lines on the palm of the hand. One popular theory is that the length of the line of life will indicate lifespan. This theory was investigated in 1974 by Wilson and Mather who found no signific…

Brain Size, Cranial Morphology, Climate, and Time Machines [and Comments and Reply]
A bioclimatic model is evaluated as an explanation of variation in cranial capacity among 122 ethnic groups. Distribution of absolute and relative endocranial volume is mapped. Significant correlations occur with all nine climatic variables examined. Major foci of adaptation occur with solar radiation, vapor pressure, and winter temperature. Global mean trait increase is 2.5 cm per degree of equatorial distance. The interactive geometry between c…
Basicranial flexion, relative brain size, and facial kyphosis in Homo sapiens and some fossil hominids
Comparative work among nonhominid primates has demonstrated that the basicranium becomes more flexed with increasing brain size relative to basicranial length and as the ‐upper and lower face become more ventrally deflected (Ross and Ravosa [1993] Am. J. Phys. Anthropol. 91: 305–324). In order to determine whether modern humans and fossil hominids follow these trends, the cranial base angle (measure of basicranial flexion), angle of facial kyphos…
Sexually dimorphic mandibular morphology in the first few years of life
Sex differences in the youngest skeletons are very subtle, and any method that can separate males and females significantly better than chance will be of value. Compounding the problem is a paucity of immature skeletons of documented age and sex. In 1992, S.R.L. examined 62 juvenile mandibles of white and black South Africans of known age and sex (from birth to 19 years) from the Dart Collection to determine if the sexes could be differentiated b…

Hominid cranial capacity change through time
Test of socioeconomic causation of secular trend
Secular trends in body height, however common, run at different rates and even in opposite directions in various populations. The standard explanation is that direction and tempo of the trend are reflections of changes in the socioeconomic situation. The aim of this work is to test this hypothesis by examining trends in different socioeconomic groups living in the same country. Our observations on affluent South Africans of European extraction (A…
Late archaic Mortuary practices Of the Lower pecos River region, Southwest texas
The most common mortuary practice documented in southwest Texas is flexed primary burials where the corpse is wrapped in mats and interred in pits dug in dry rockshelter deposits. Natural dessication occasionally results in partial mummification and the preservation of some body parts. One example, exhumed in the 1930s, is the mummy of a relatively tall, gracile adult male with the extreme dental pathologies characteristic of the region. Identifi…
Hominins are a single lineage
Sapienization and Speech [and Comments and Reply]
Middle Pleistocene erectus skulls differ from ours in fifteen discrete traits, primary among which are their smaller cranial capacities, flatter and more strongly constructed braincases, larger and more anteriorly projecting faces, and inflected mastoid processes. Back to 40,000 years ago all fossil hominids are of the sapiens desing, while all those clearly older show the erectus pattern. Except for their large brains, Neandertals are of the ere…
Natural Selection and Morphological Variability
Two hypotheses concerning the influence of natural selection intensity on intra- and interpopulational variability of metric characteristics of the human skull ar tested. Using data on 58 series from Europe and its environs dating from Neolithic to modern times, it has been found that with the decline of the decline of the intensity of operation of natural selection (1) intragroup variability increases, (2) intergroup variability decreases, and (…

Variation in soft‐tissue thicknesses on the human face and their relation to craniometric dimensions
The average thickness of soft tissues on parts of the face is known, but its variation has not been related to cranial morphology. To investigate this relationship, measurements of facial soft‐tissue depths and craniometric dimensions were taken on adult, white Australian cadavers (17 male and 23 female). Significant correlations between many soft‐tissue depths and craniometric dimensions were found, suggesting a relationship between the amount o…
Ekosensytywność cech metrycznych - próba innego ujęcia metodycznego
In the literature concerning metric characters of man, the question of the share of genetic and environmental factors in determination of morphological features was approached almost exclusively by studies of heritability. It is commonly accepted by the majority of authors that measures of heritability (such as h2) do directly inform about the degree of genetic determination of characters in question, and consequently, after simple reinterpretati…

Wydaje się jednak, że dysponując danymi o strukturze wieku zmarłych dorosłych, przy istniejących obecnie możliwościach o…
Average menarcheal age of higher socioeconomic status urban Cape Coloured girls assessed by means of status quo and recall methods
The age of the onset of menstruation has been determined for the urban middle‐class Cape Coloured population. From 1987 to 1992 data were collected from 857 girls aged 8 to 20 years attending primary and secondary schools in Cape Town. The schools were specifically selected for the highest socioeconomic status (SES) of pupils' parents. Three‐quarters of parents fell into the higher three categories of the 5‐category SES standard. Girls were inter…

Mortality changes in a polish rural community (1350–1972) and estimation of their evolutionary significance
Changes in the mortality profiles of the population of 13 villages in central Poland have been studied for the medieval and nineteenth‐century periods. Three measures, derived from the demographic data, were analyzed within an evolutionary context: (1) I m , the opportunity for selection through differential mortality, (2) R pot , the potential gross reproductive rate, and (3) I bs , the index of biological state. Changes in these indicators over…

External skeletal robusticity of children and adolescents – European references from birth to adulthood and international comparisons
Background: In our modern world, the way of life in nutritional and activity behaviour has changed. As a consequence, parallel trends of an epidemic of overweight and a decline in external skeletal robusticity are observed in children and adolescents. Aim: We aim to develop reference centiles for external skeletal robusticity of European girls and boys aged 0 to 18 years using the Frame Index as an indicator and identify population specific age-r…
Diagnosing congenital syphilis using H utchinson's method
OBJECTIVES: This study focuses on the dental abnormalities observed by Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, Henry Moon and Alfred Fournier in patients with congenital syphilis and in those treated with mercury, in order to define alterations in dental morphology attributable to each of these causes. These definitions are applied to reported paleopathological cases, exploring various etiologies behind the defects, in order to aid in the diagnosis of congenita…
Variability of height, weight, and body mass index in a Swiss armed forces 2005 census
The influence of the environment and genetics on individual biological characteristics, such as body mass and stature is well known. Many studies of these relationships have been based on conscript data. These studies often suffer from the fact that their data cover only a part of the population. Characterized by prosperity, democratic stability and enormous micro‐regional cultural diversity, Switzerland is in the unique situation of offering dat…

Notes on the reproduction possibilities of human prehistorical populations
Podejmowane dotychczas, nader cenne, próby określenia płodności grup ludzkich w pradziejach dają jednak wyniki szacunkowe, trudne niejednokrotnie do porównań. Jest to rezultatem stosowania trzech różnych metod szacowania płodności: 1) dzielenia przeciętnej długości okresu zdolności reprodukcyjnej przez długość odstępów między urodzeniami, 2) określania dzietności zmarłych kobiet w oparciu o zmiany poporodowe na kościach miednicy, 3) przemnażania …

Wstępna ocena stanu biologicznego ludności wiejskiej okolic Kościerzyny na podstawie wybranych danych o ruchu naturalnym i wędrówkowym
Kościerzyna region constitutes a southern part of the Casubian area situated on lower Vistula and around Gdańsk. The area is inhabited by about 300 000 autochtonous slavic people differing from surrounding Polish populace in some minor cultural traits (e.g. having special Casubian dialect). Some physical anthropologists have claimed that Casubians are also morphologically different from their neighbours. This implies that there are operating fact…
