During this period, a number of populations settled in the area (Germanic peoples until Visigothic rule, Byzantine until the arrival of the Arabs, etc.), each of them concentrating the historical characteristics in the Sub-Baetic that are currently known. The Cortijo Coracho archaeological site is currently located in the city of Lucena (Cordoba, Spain), found after the works on the A-45 motorway. The necropolis consists of 294 inhumations and the remains of a basilica, although after a series of surveys it is estimated that there are around 700 additional burials, which would make it the largest necropolis with ad sancti burials surrounding a martyrial basilica dating back to the 4^th century AD. Among the burials, 397 subjects were recovered, which implies a large presence of shared and/or reused burials. These subjects were transferred to the city's museum, where they were examined, reorganised and classified. At this point, subjects of scientific interest were found, as is the case of subject 204, the topic of this article. This individual, described as an adult male, is an example of the living conditions of this period, since despite his injury on the left lower extremity, a double fracture aggravated by a chronic osteomyelitis infection, he continued to use that limb.

The analysed polymorphic sites are located in three genes - CCR5, CCR2 and SDF 1 (CXCL12). Protein products are involved in the innate immune response and are also involved in various types of infections, autoimmune diseases and tumours. The frequency of the alleles found in the DNA of the studied individuals was determined by the Sanger methodology and was compared with the data obtained for modern populations. To confirm the authenticity of the obtained results, mtDNA HVRI haplotypes of all the studied samples were obtained and compared with the genetic database of the laboratory personnel who came into contact with the studied material. Based on the variability of allele frequency, advanced biostatistical analysis was used to distinguish the effect of natural selection from genetic drift, i.e. the forces operating on the polymorphic sites studied. All procedures were performed according to the guidelines for working with ancient DNA to avoid contamination with modern DNA molecules. 681 samples from 39 archaeological sites in Poland and Lithuania dated to the 40^th century BC and the 19^th century were studied. The biostatistical analysis showed that the fluctuations in the frequency of CCR5Δ32 in the analysed time interval could be mainly the effect of genetic drift. Nevertheless, for CCR2-64I and SDF 1-3'A, the results confirm the suggestion of negative selection as the mechanism involved. Since all the polymorphic sites encode the elements of innate immune response that are indirectly associated with the process of an HPV infection and the development of cervical cancer, the human papillomavirus may be a good candidate for a selection coefficient affecting the frequency of CCR2-64I and SDF 1-3'A. However, for CCR5Δ32, selection was not detected despite its proven role in the molecular mechanism involved in the response to an HPV infection. The presented work seems to be the first in which the problem of the pattern of CCR5Δ32, CCR2-64I and SDF 1-3'A frequency fluctuations in a temporal perspective was discussed, proposing HPV as a factor influencing the occurrence of the CCR2 and SDF1 alleles.</p>","PeriodicalId":46008,"journal":{"name":"Anthropologischer Anzeiger","volume":" ","pages":"261-280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139571744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ob und wie lange diese Phase anhält, ist jedoch unklar. Es gibt daher genug Gründe, sich mit den Fehlern der deutschen wirtschaftspolitischen Debatte und der entsprechenden Politik der letzten Jahre vertieft auseinanderzusetzen. Wer dies tun möchte, dem sei das Buch »Aufschwung für Deutschland« empfohlen. Die Herausgeber sind Ronald Schettkat, Professor für Wirtschaftspolitik an der Universität Wuppertal, und Jochem Langkau, der ehemalige Leiter des wirtschaftsund sozialpolitischen Forschungsund Beratungszentrums der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. Sie haben sechs Beiträge von acht international renommierten Ökonominnen und Ökonomen gesammelt, die sich kritisch zur deutschen ökonomischen Mainstreamtheorie und -politik der letzten Jahre äußern. Ermöglicht wurde das Buchprojekt durch die Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, finanziell unterstützt zudem durch die Hans-und-Traute-Matthöfer-Stiftung, die in der Vergangenheit schon häufig bedeutende progressive ökonomische Publikationen gefördert hat. Um das Buch richtig einordnen zu können, muss man sich in die Zeit der deutschen Stagnation von 2001 bis 2005 zurückversetzen, in der die deutsche wirtschaftspolitische Debatte von einer komplett einseitigen Sichtweise dominiert wurde. Schuld an der Krise seien ausschließlich die ›strukturellen Verkrustungen‹ des Arbeitsmarktes als angebliche Hauptursache der hohen Arbeitslosigkeit. Institutionen kollektiver Lohnbildung, gesetzliche und/oder tarifliche Regulierungen sowie das soziale Sicherungsund das Steuersystem wurden als Abweichungen vom reinen Markt und damit als Verursacher von Arbeitslosigkeit angesehen. Aus dieser Sicht gab es nur eine Konsequenz: Je weniger tarifliche, gesetzliche und sozialpolitische Regulierungen und Abweichungen vom vollkommenen Arbeitsmarkt es gibt, umso geringer wird die Arbeitslosigkeit ausfallen. Daher müsse der Arbeitsmarkt möglichst radikal dereguliert werden, und möglichst tiefe Einschnitte in die sozialen Sicherungssysteme seien notwendig. Wie wirkungsmächtig diese Sichtweise in Deutschland gerade auch unter sozialdemokratischer Führung in den vergangenen zehn Jahren war, bedarf angesichts, der unübersehbaren Entstaatlichungstendenzen, der ›Agenda 2010‹ sowie der resultierenden dramatischen Zunahme der Einkommensund Vermögensungleichheit keiner weiteren Erläuterung.
