Lack of biological mortality bias in the timing of dental formation in contemporary children: Implications for the study of past populations [0.03%]
当代儿童乳牙萌出时间缺乏生物学早逝偏倚:对史前人群研究的影响
Laure Spake,Robert D Hoppa,Soren Blau et al.
Laure Spake et al.
Objectives: Biological mortality bias is the idea that individuals who perish (non-survivors) are biologically distinct from those who survive (survivors). If biological mortality bias is large enough, bioarchaeological s...

Daniel J Naumenko et al.
Objective: We describe a new method for identifying and quantifying the magnitude and rate of short-term weight faltering episodes, and assess how (a) these episodes relate to broader growth outcomes, and (b) different da...

Objectives: This study uses osteological and radiocarbon datasets combined with formal quantitative analyses to test hypotheses concerning the character of conflict in the Nasca highlands during the Late Intermediate Peri...
Paleodemographic analysis of age at death for a population of Black Sea Scythians: An exploration by using Bayesian methods [0.03%]
基于贝叶斯方法的一种黑海萨迦人人口死亡年龄的古人口学分析
Sylwia Łukasik,Jakub Bijak,Marta Krenz-Niedbała et al.
Sylwia Łukasik et al.
Objectives: Studies of the demography of past populations involving deterministic life tables can be criticized for ignoring the errors of estimation. Bayesian methods offer an alternative, by focusing on the uncertainty ...
"[This] system was not made for [you]:" A case for decolonial Scientia [0.03%]
“这个体系不为你而建”——为去殖民地化科学素养教育进行的辩护

The mainstream of American physical anthropology began as racist and eugenical science that defended slavery, restricted "non-Nordic" immigration, and justified Jim Crow segregation. After World War II, the field became more anti-racial tha...
Increased dental fluctuating asymmetry is associated with active skeletal lesions, but not mortality hazards in the precontact Southwest United States [0.03%]
