Abstract The origin and early dispersal of speakers Transeurasian languages—that is, Japanese, Korean, Tungusic, Mongolic Turkic—is among the most disputed issues Eurasian population history 1–3 . A key problem is relationship between linguistic dispersals, agricultural expansions movements 4,5 Here we address this question by ‘triangulating’ genetics, archaeology linguistics in a unified perspective. We report wide-ranging datasets from these disciplines, including comprehensive...
Human craniofacial data were used to assess the similarities and differences between recent prehistoric Old World samples, these samples a similar representation of from New World. The analyzed by neighbor-joining clustering procedure, assisted bootstrapping canonical discriminant analysis score plots. first entrants Western Hemisphere maybe 15,000 years ago gave rise continuing native inhabitants south U.S.–Canadian border. These show no close association with any known mainland Asian...
Many human craniofacial dimensions are largely of neutral adaptive significance, and an analysis their variation can serve as indication the extent to which any given population is genetically related or differs from other. When 24 measurements a series populations used generate neighbor-joining dendrograms, it no surprise that all modern European groups, ranging way Scandinavia eastern Europe throughout Mediterranean Middle East, show they closely each The Neolithic peoples Bronze Age...
In this study, we compare the craniofacial morphology of four Sumidouro skulls and one Lund skull paleo South Americans from Lagoa Santa, Brazil, with worldwide prehistoric recent human metric data, suggest an alternative view migration history early America. Affiliations samples individuals were examined by principal coordinate plot generated Relethford Blangero's R-matrix method, neighbor-joining method based on genetic distance same R-matrix, Mahalanobis distances typicality...
A challenge in human genome research is how to describe the populations being studied. The use of improper and/or imprecise terms has potential both generate and reinforce prejudices diminish clinical value research. issue population descriptors not attracted enough academic attention outside North America Europe. In January 2012, we held a two-day workshop, first its kind Japan, engage interdisciplinary dialogue between scholars humanities, social sciences, medical genetics begin an ongoing...
In this study, Chinese immigrant population history and structure was assessed using craniometric diversity in two historic cemeteries located North America. Analyses addressed questions of history, migration, geographic origin for immigrants to the United States late 1800s. Craniometric by use R-matrix method on 19 metric traits 62 male individuals. Using a genetic model (Relethford–Blangero), our results indicate low level these immigrants. Principal coordinate plots neighbor-joining trees...
Abstract The origin and early dispersal of speakers Transeurasian languages, i.e., Japanese, Korean, Tungusic, Mongolic Turkic, is among the most disputed issues Eurasian population history. A key problem relationship between linguistic dispersals, agricultural expansions movements. Here we address this question through ‘triangulating’ genetics, archaeology linguistics in a unified perspective. We report new, wide-ranging datasets from these disciplines, including comprehensive agropastoral...
Abstract Objectives We explore variations in body and limb proportions of the Jomon hunter‐gatherers (14,000–2500 BP), Yayoi agriculturalists (2500–1700 BP) Japan, Kumejima Islanders Ryukyus (1600–1800 AD) with 11 geographically diverse skeletal postcranial samples from Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, North America using brachial‐crural indices, femur head‐breadth‐to‐femur length ratio, head‐breadth‐to‐lower‐limb‐length mass as indicators phenotypic climatic adaptation. Specifically, we...
アメリカ自然人類学会（AAPA）の現状と動向を紹介し，その歴史に触れながら自然人類学のあり方の検討を行った。19世紀から20世紀前半のアメリカ自然人類学の研究テーマは「人種タイポロジー」的な理論と方法論が主であった。しかし，1951年のシャーウッド・ウオッシュバーンの「新しい自然人類学」の提唱後に，アメリカ生物人類学は，新しい方法論，理論，仮説検定に焦点をおく科学に変化を遂げた。形質人類学も生物文化的なアプローチを取り，生物考古学の視点やフェミニズムの視点をもって，ゆっくりではあるが，発展してきた。そして，自然人類学の枠だけに留まらず，考古学，文化人類学，言語人類学との融合性を目指した研究テーマを切り開こうと努力している。しかし，近年の司法人類学の人気に伴って，アメリカ自然人類学はウオッシュバーン以前の人種タイポロジー的なアプローチを取る古い形質人類学に引き戻されてしまう危機にも直面している。現在，アメリカ自然人類学会と研究者達は，これまで起こってきた矛盾，批判，反省，議論をアリーナとして，21世紀の社会に貢献するための新しい研究テーマと活動を模索している。
In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) outline-based morphometric analysis has begun to be the standard means of shape in study ceramics. Despite ever-increasing repertoire three-dimensional (3D) ceramic data available researchers, due challenges utilizing landmark-based geometric morphometrics on ceramics, many contemporary studies are forced rely 2D outlines, which account for only a small degree variance. Consequently, notions intra-vessel variance cannot thoroughly extrapolated, and as...
A challenging aspect of Le Fort I osteotomy is bleeding control. Osteotomy techniques, devices, drugs, and anesthetic management have been reported to reduce bleeding; however, there are no reports on the use hemostatic agents. We aimed evaluate efficacy a new topical absorbent agent, Surgicel Powder, consisting oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC). reviewed records 40 patients who underwent surgery for jaw deformities, with or without cleft lip palate. Twenty did not lips palates (CLCP);...
