Seasonality and Human Ecology
Areca nut, energy metabolism and hunger in Asian men
Areca nut constituents modulate metabolic signals regulating appetite in man. This concurs with customary belief
Parental Investment Theory and Birth Sex Ratios in Nepal
Parental investment theory postulates that where physical condition varies significantly then birth sex ratio will be correlated with social status. Application of this theory to man remains contentious. This study examines physique, wealth, and social status in relation to the sex of live births. It reports a female-biased sex ratio in high social and economic status Nepalese. Close consanguineous marriage, intended to conserve landed wealth wit…
Anthropometric status and resting metabolic rate in users of the areca nut and smokers of tobacco in rural Sarawak
The areca nut is chewed by many of the world's population, mainly in South and Southeast Asia. Anthropometric data for 458 Sarawaki adults aged over 24 years, measured both in 1990 and in 1996, were examined in relation to use of tobacco and areca nut. Compared to non-smokers, smoking men were significantly taller and slightly (not significantly) thinner in both years, while smoking women were thinner in 1990 and slightly (not significantly) thin…
Seasonality and Human Ecology
Iban energy nutrition and shifting agriculture
This paper reports findings of a cross‐sectional, harvest season anthropometric study of 533 children under 10 years age, and 447 men and 564 women aged over 18 years, belonging to the Iban tribe of rural Sarawak. Neither the weight‐for‐height nor height‐for‐age of children was associated with the type of fallow vegetation from which households had cleared farms for rice cultivation, although weight‐for‐height reflected reported morbidity. Among …

Seasonality and Human Ecology
Seasonality has effects on a wide range of human functions and activities, and is important in the understanding of human-environment relationships. In this volume, distinguished contributors including human biologists, anthropologists, physiologists and nutritionists consider many of the different ways in which seasonality influences human biology and behaviour. Topics addressed include the influence of seasonality on hominid evolution, seasonal…
Resting energy expenditure and body composition in rural Sarawaki adults
The resting energy expenditure (REE) of 43 men and 41 nonpregnant women aged 18-42, of the Iban tribe in rural Sarawak, was measured using the Oxylog and analyzed in relation to fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) derived from measurements of skinfold thickness, to estimates of the specific energy expenditure of the FFM, and to microclimatic variables. Measured REEs exceeded values predicted from FFM by 9-22%, but were consistent with the metab…

Basal metabolic rate and physique of Gurkha and British soldiers stationed in Britain
Measurements of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and physique were made on Gurkha soldiers stationed in Britain, and on British controls matched by body weight and occupational background. Gurkhas were significantly shorter, with greater body mass index, calf circumference and subscapular skinfold thickness than the European controls, although there was no difference in BMR between the two groups. For the Gurkhas, linear regression analysis incorporati…

Energetic cost of standard activities in Gurkha and British soldiers
Measurements of basal metabolic rate and energy expenditure at lying, sitting, standing, and performing a step test at four levels of exercise, were made on Gurkha soldiers stationed in Britain and on British controls matched by body weight and occupational background. There was no significant difference in basal metabolic rate (BMR), nor in the energy cost of lying, sitting and standing between the two groups. Gurhas showed significantly lower g…

Notes on the language of Gurung pe
In the Preface to the first edition of his essay On the Aborigines of India , B. H. Hodgson set out two main purposes of his research: to show when and why the pre-Aryan aboriginal population (“Tamulians”) were dispersed to their apparently scattered distribution; and to describe their “positive condition, moral and material” so as to show “the point of advancement which the aborigines have reached in thought and action”
