It reviews historical, demographical, statistical, medical, and bioarchaeological, primary and secondary data originating from archive material or previously published specific analyses into the topic (n = 55). An innovative intersectional and multidisciplinary approach was developed in order to apprehend, collect, organize, and analyze data stemming from several different disciplinary fields. Through this approach, this research endeavors to answer the following questions: 1) what are the social and environmental factors guiding the risk or not of suffering from RIAD, 2) do these factors appear to be constant on a territorial scale and through time, 3) can the evolution of RIAD occurrences be correlated to the local history of a particular region? And 4) does a better understanding of RIAD dynamics in the past allow us to draw any useful lessons for their future sustainable management? Accordingly, collected raw data were converted and normalized into crude mortality, natality, and RIAD mortality rates per thousand individuals and subsequently set within the demographic and epidemiological transition model. This model serves as a relevant reading grid for the understanding of the pathological and demographic evolutions that this study highlights. Indeed, this data compilation effort enabled to reconstruct crude birth and death rates for Switzerland from 1580 CE to the present day and to present the latter in graphical form. This graphical presentation is a breakthrough in the field of RIAD research in Switzerland and further enabled to assess internal data coherence and trend evolutions by means of joinpoint regression analysis. Main results include the confirmation of the considerable impact of industrialization on the respiratory health of peri-alpine populations. They also underline the selective and versatile nature of the pressure exerted by respiratory diseases on specific socio-economic and demographic classes, whose composition has varied through time. This research was impeded by the uneven quality of the available sources. Nonetheless, it still provides a robust outlook on the longue-durée evolution of respiratory health. The obtained results might thus be of interest to a wide array of scholars active in the study of respiratory diseases through time, but also clinicians and health policy makers, as this study highlights particular aspect of the current health situation, and the future worldwide challenges posed notably by global urbanization, with regard to respiratory health issues. Future research could develop similar approaches in neighboring regions, or focus on specific types of RIAD, in order to contrast other local pathological signatures with the one presented in this manuscript.","PeriodicalId":46714,"journal":{"name":"Homo-Journal of Comparative Human Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510194","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}

The site's complex stratigraphy and the details about the tooth's discovery also pose challenges for the previous ESR age estimate.

Although age-related bone loss is a normal phenomenon, studies on archaeological individuals have demonstrated that the pattern how this occurs has experienced changes due to our changing lifestyles.

We test this assumption in two human populations and further examine what is needed to understand sexual dimorphism in the pectoral region. Modern human males have broad shoulders and narrow hips relative to females, lending males a more triangular torso. The wider female pelvis is commonly attributed to obstetric pressures while the broader male pectoral girdle has been argued to be an adaptation that improves hunting or intrasexual competition. While sexual dimorphism in the pelvic girdle is known to exist after adjusting for body size across human populations, most studies of sexual dimorphism in the pectoral girdle have not adjusted the data to account for sexual size dimorphism or compared different ancestral groups. The aforementioned hypotheses explaining sexual dimorphism in the clavicle and scapula as products of natural selection are predicated on the untested assumption that sex differences do not scale with body size. This study tests this assumption by comparing various measurements of the pectoral girdle, the pelvic girdle, and six pectoral-pelvic indices of black and white South Africans of known sex and height to test whether the sexes and ancestral groups will differ in these values after adjusting for differences in body size. Comparisons of ancestral groups reveal that white South Africans have larger pectoral and pelvic dimensions than black South Africans, but that blacks have larger index values than whites. Regardless of differences in ancestry and body size, males have significantly broader pectoral regions as indicated by comparisons of both individual pectoral measurements and pectoral-pelvic indices. This pattern of sexual dimorphism is reversed in the pelvic region where females have larger skeletal elements. In addition to finding both absolute and relative differences in mean values for the pectoral and pelvic skeleton, females and males and blacks and whites differ in the scaling relationship of these traits, suggesting different allometric trajectories for these bones that may be explained by their distinct evolutionary functions, their adaptations to specific environments, or by changes in lengths due to age. These results suggest that sexual dimorphism in the pectoral region is not a product of scaling and that differences in this region reflect adaptive forces acting in unique ways on each sex, consistent with the assumptions of earlier evolutionary explanations.</p>","PeriodicalId":46714,"journal":{"name":"Homo-Journal of Comparative Human Biology","volume":"74 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9690543","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}

The site archeologically dates back to the Late Iron Age, when the island was inhabited by the Illyrians. The aim of this study was to assess the dental age of the buried individuals at death and determine the type of their diet, which could give us a preliminary insight into the socio-economic standard of the inhabitants of the settlement. The analyzed sample is part of the collection of excavated skeletal remains kept in the Vela Luka Cultural Center on the island of Korčula. 284 permanent teeth, 19 fragments of the maxilla and 20 fragments of the mandible were found in the tomb, which were classified into 32 individuals and by sex. Teeth were analyzed by metric and non-metric methods of determining dental status in order to assess the dental age at the time of death and the diet of the inhabitants. The dental age of individuals was determined by the Lovejoy method and the degree of tooth wear by the Smith-Knight method. The analysis of the stable isotope <sup>14</sup>C determined the exact time of death of the analyzed individuals. The tooth wear changes were very pronounced and present on 92.9% of teeth, equally on incisors and molars (<i>p</i> = 0.236). There is no significant gender difference (<i>p</i> > 0.05 for all teeth and jaw parts). There was no difference in the degree of tooth wear of the teeth of the mandible and maxilla (t = -0.266, <i>p</i> = 0.791), nor in the degree of tooth wear of the teeth of the maxilla right and left (t = -0.392, <i>p</i> = 0.702) or in the degree of tooth wear of the teeth of the mandible right and left (t = -0.889, <i>p</i> = 0.390). The average age of the analyzed population sample was 35.6 (±3.1) years. They were buried between 360-40 BC. Tooth wear changes observed on the analyzed teeth indicate a diet rich in hard, weakly cariogenic food with particles that were probably of inorganic origin, which caused an increased wear of tooth structures.
