Thirty years of geometric morphometrics: Achievements, challenges, and the ongoing quest for biological meaningfulness [0.03%]
几何形态计量学三十年:成就、挑战及寻找生物意义的追求
Philipp Mitteroecker,Katrin Schaefer
Philipp Mitteroecker
The foundations of geometric morphometrics were worked out about 30 years ago and have continually been refined and extended. What has remained as a central thrust and source of debate in the morphometrics community is the shared goal of me...
Burned and buried: A vibrational spectroscopy analysis of burial-related diagenetic changes of heat-altered human bones [0.03%]

Joana Rosa,Ana R Vassalo,Ana Amarante et al.
Joana Rosa et al.
Objectives: The analysis of burned human remains can be very challenging due to heat-induced alterations. Occasionally, human bones present these coupled with diagenetic changes, offering even more of a challenge, since t...

People of African descent use direct-to-consumer genomics services such as 23andMe and AncestryDNA for various family histories and health reasons, including identifying and interacting with the previously unknown living African genetic rel...
Childhood growth and education migration among ethnic Tibetan children from Nepal [0.03%]
尼泊尔藏族儿童的成长与教育迁移
Elizabeth A Quinn,Jhangchuk Sangmo,Sarah Burack et al.
Elizabeth A Quinn et al.
Background: Ethnographic work among high altitude populations has shown that children are highly mobile-the most recent expression of this is the educational migration of children born at high altitude to boarding schools...
Sagittal suture strain in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus and Cebus) during feeding [0.03%]
负鼠亚科猴子(Sapajus和Cebus)在摄食时额缝的应变反应
Craig Byron,David Reed,Jose Iriarte-Diaz et al.
Craig Byron et al.
Objectives: Morphological variation in cranial sutures is used to infer aspects of primate feeding behavior, including diet, but strain regimes across sutures are not well documented. Our aim is to test hypotheses about s...
Updated imaging and phylogenetic comparative methods reassess relative temporal lobe size in anthropoids and modern humans [0.03%]
更新的影像和谱系比较方法重新评估类人猿和现代人类的大脑颞叶大小比例关系
Alannah Pearson,Emiliano Bruner,P David Polly
Alannah Pearson
Objectives: Two decades ago, Rilling and Seligman, hereafter abbreviated to RAS Study, suggested modern humans had relatively larger temporal lobes for brain size compared to other anthropoids. Despite many subsequent stu...
