The human pelvis is often described as an evolutionary compromise (obstetrical dilemma)
between the requirements of efficient bipedal locomotion and safe parturition of a highly …

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 …

The rules and structure of human culture impact health as much as genetics or environment.
To study these relationships, we combine ancient DNA (n= 230), skeletal metrics (n= 391) …

The most studied ecogeographic rule is Bergmann's rule, but aspects of the original paper
are often presented incorrectly even though Bergmann (1847) is explicitly cited. The goal of …

The relative contributions of genetics and environment to temporal and geographic variation
in human height remain largely unknown. Ancient DNA has identified changes in genetic …

Variation in body form among human groups is structured by a blend of natural selection
driven by local climatic conditions and random genetic drift. However, attempts to test …

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 …

Objectives Ancient DNA provides an opportunity to separate the genetic and environmental
bases of complex traits by allowing direct estimation of genetic values in ancient individuals …

Introduction Interest in human physiological responses to cold stress have seen a
resurgence in recent years with a focus on brown adipose tissue (BAT), a mitochondria …

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 …
