J Anat, 2023 Nasal shape is the result of many intertwined factors, including genetic drift and climatic adaptation. In this study, we quantify nasal airway morphological variation on 195 CT scans of five modern human populations. Our results highlight shape differences between these samples.

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 1, Page 152-167, March 2023., 2023 Abstract In this paper, we investigate the phenomenon of pronominal politeness in the Indo‐European languages and demonstrate that the processes of change of pronominal systems related to politeness follow two evolutionary regimes, one inside the ‘Standard Average European’ (SAE) linguistic area and another outside of it.

The former can be identified with the preposition Sl na ‘on(to)’ which developed an intensifying meaning when used as a prefix.

In the present report, we evaluate this thesis through an experiment administered in 11 different countries.
