Background and objectives: Most studies to date have focused on the negative aspects of anxiety. Anxiety, however, is an evolved emotional response that can provide protection in the face of risk. Pandemics are characteri...
Gestational potential space hypothesis: Evolutionary explanation of human females body fat redistribution [0.03%]

Homo sapiens, as well as other primates, developed the evolutionary advantage of storing excess energy as body fat, primarily in the readily accessible visceral fat compartment when food is plentiful for use during scarcity. However, unique...
Helminth infection is associated with dampened cytokine responses to viral and bacterial stimulations in Tsimane forager-horticulturalists [0.03%]
蠕虫感染与采猎农耕者提斯马人对病毒和细菌刺激的细胞因子反应减弱有关
India A Schneider-Crease,Aaron D Blackwell,Thomas S Kraft et al.
India A Schneider-Crease et al.
Background: Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) and humans share long co-evolutionary histories over which STHs have evolved strategies to permit their persistence by downregulating host immunity. Understanding the interact...

Ralph Catalano et al.
Background and objectives: The suspicion that a population stressor as profound as the COVID-19 pandemic would increase preterm birth among cohorts in gestation at its outset has not been supported by data collected in 20...

The severity of COVID-19 is age-related, with the advantage going to younger age-groups. Five reasons are presented. The first two are well-known, are being actively researched by the broader medical community, and therefore are discussed o...
Race and genetics versus 'race' in genetics: A systematic review of the use of African ancestry in genetic studies [0.03%]
种族与遗传学VS遗传学中的'种族'：系统回顾基因研究中对非洲祖先的使用
Theresa M Duello,Shawna Rivedal,Colton Wickland et al.
Theresa M Duello et al.
Social scientists have long understood race to be a social category invented to justify slavery and evolutionary biologists know the socially constructed racial categories do not align with our biological understanding of genetic variation....
Concordance of HIV transmission risk factors elucidated using viral diversification rate and phylogenetic clustering [0.03%]
利用病毒多样化率和系统发育聚类阐明的HIV传播风险因素的一致性
Angela McLaughlin,Paul Sereda,Chanson J Brumme et al.
Angela McLaughlin et al.
Background and objectives: Although HIV sequence clustering is routinely used to identify subpopulations experiencing elevated transmission, it over-simplifies transmission dynamics and is sensitive to methodology. Comple...

Background and objectives: Women who breastfeed may experience long-term benefits for their health in addition to the more widely appreciated effects on the breastfed child. Breastfeeding may induce long-term effects on b...
Evolutionary selection of alleles in the melanophilin gene that impacts on prostate organ function and cancer risk [0.03%]
在黑色素结合蛋白基因中演化选择等位基因对前列腺功能及癌症风险的影响
Luca Ermini,Jeffrey C Francis,Gabriel S Rosa et al.
Luca Ermini et al.
Background and objectives: Several hundred inherited genetic variants or SNPs that alter the risk of cancer have been identified through genome-wide association studies. In populations of European ancestry, these variants...
