The morphological affinities of the fossil cranium from Kabua, Kenya Affinités morphologiques du crâne fossile de Kabua (Kenya)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range

The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

ABSTRACT Today, defined as the ‘persistent eating of non‐nutritive substances’, pica is a lesser‐known eating disorder with a long history. Defined in early modern England as the ‘desire to eat absurd things’, pica was explicitly gendered, associated with pregnant women and pubescent girls.

Index Insurance and Food Security Among Smallholder Farmers in Southern Mali

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate extremes increasingly threaten food security in low‐ and middle‐income countries, where vulnerable smallholder farmers often lack access to risk mitigation tools. Although index‐based insurance has been promoted as a promising adaptation measure to climate shocks, evidence on its welfare effects, especially on food security, remains ...

Rapid hormonal rise in honey bees due to heat‐shock is mitigated by a primer pheromone

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We show that honey bee foragers increased juvenile hormone (JH) titers significantly after heat‐shocked for 1 h at 40 °C, but this increase is dependent on social conditions. Increase of JH titers only happened when bees were isolated (one worker bee per vial) but not in groups.
