Elemental models of primate nursing and weaning revisited
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 180, Issue 1, Page 216-223, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Objectives Intra‐tooth patterns of trace elements barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) have been used to infer human and nonhuman primate nursing histories, including australopithecine and Neanderthal juveniles.

Examination of runs of homozygosity in relation to height in an endogamous Namibian population
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 180, Issue 1, Page 207-215, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Objectives Height is a complex, highly heritable polygenic trait subject to both genetic composition and environmental influences. Recent studies suggest that a large proportion of height heritability is determined by the cumulative effect of many low allele frequency variants across the genome. Previous research has also identified an inverse

Embryonic cranial cartilage defects in the Fgfr3Y367C/+ mouse model of achondroplasia
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Achondroplasia, the most common chondrodysplasia in humans, is caused by one of two gain of function mutations localized in the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) leading to constitutive activation of FGFR3 and subsequent growth plate cartilage and bone defects.

Culture, Nature, and the Valuation of Ecosystem Services in Northern Namibia
Ecology and Society, 2014 Defining culture as shared knowledge, values, and practices, we introduce an anthropological concept of culture to the ecosystem-service debate. In doing so, we shift the focus from an analysis of culture as a residual category including recreational and
