A trade-off between cognitive and physical performance, with relative preservation of brain function.
Debate surrounds the issue of how the large, metabolically expensive brains of Homo sapiens can be energetically afforded. At the evolutionary level, decreased investment in muscularity, adiposity and the digestive tract allow...
Intensive terrestrial or marine locomotor strategies are associated with inter- and intra-limb bone functional adaptation in living female athletes.
Long-term patterns of body mass and stature evolution within the hominin lineage.
Body size is a central determinant of a species' biology and adaptive strategy, but the number of reliable estimates of hominin body mass and stature have been insufficient to determine long-term patterns and subtle interactions...
Population history and ecology, in addition to climate, influence human stature and body proportions.
Worldwide variation in human stature and limb proportions is widely accepted to reflect thermal adaptation, but the contribution of population history to this variation is unknown. Furthermore, stature and relative lower limb...
Human athletic paleobiology; using sport as a model to investigate human evolutionary adaptation.
The use of sport as a conceptual framework offers unprecedented opportunities to improve our understanding of what the body does, shedding new light on our evolutionary trajectory, our capacity for adaptation, and the underlying...
Different environmental variables predict body and brain size evolution in Homo.
Increasing body and brain size constitutes a key macro-evolutionary pattern in the hominin lineage, yet the mechanisms behind these changes remain debated. Hypothesized drivers include environmental, demographic, social...

Evolution of Lactase Persistence
The emergence of the capacity to digest milk in some populations represents a landmark in human evolution, linking genetic change with a component of niche construction, namely dairying. Alleles promoting continued activity of...
Analysis and Prediction of Healthcare Sector Stock Price Using Machine Learning Techniques
Healthcare sector stocks are a very good opportunity for investors to obtain gains faster most of the time in a year and mostly during this COVID pandemic. Purchasing a healthcare stock of a certain company indicates that you...

Baby steps towards linking calcaneal trabecular bone ontogeny and the development of bipedal human gait.
Environmental conditions do not predict diversification rates in the Bantu languages.
The global distribution of language diversity mirrors that of several variables related to ecosystem productivity. It has been argued that this is driven by the size of social networks, which tend to be larger in harsher...
Trabecular bone functional adaptation and sexual dimorphism in the human foot.
OBJECTIVES: Trabecular bone adapts to the strains placed upon the skeleton during life. Anthropological research has largely focused on linking variation in primate trabecular bone to locomotor mode, to provide a context for...
Relationship between body mass, lean mass, fat mass, and limb bone cross-sectional geometry
OBJECTIVES: Estimating body mass from skeletal dimensions is widely practiced, but methods for estimating its components (lean and fat mass) are poorly developed. The ability to estimate these characteristics would offer new...
Stature estimation equations for South Asian skeletons based on DXA scans of contemporary adults.

Jul 04, 2018
OBJECTIVES: Stature estimation from the skeleton is a classic anthropological problem, and recent years have seen the proliferation of population-specific regression equations. Many rely on the anatomical reconstruction of...
Volatility Transmission Between ASEAN-5 Stock Exchanges
This article aims to analyse risk transmission among the financial markets of China and ASEAN-5 in the context of the 2015 Chinese stock market crash. For this purpose, the authors test if (1) the volatility resulting from the...

Ancient origins of low lean mass among South Asians and implications for modern type 2 diabetes susceptibility
Abstract: Living South Asians have low lean tissue mass relative to height, which contributes to their elevated type 2 diabetes susceptibility, particularly when accompanied by obesity. While ongoing lifestyle transitions...
