Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Background Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune cholangiopathy with polygenic architecture and unknown aetiology. Evidence links Neanderthal‐derived genetic variants to autoimmune conditions; however, their contribution to PBC susceptibility remains unexplored.

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes fashion as a deep‐time system of bodily communication rather than a byproduct of modern consumer societies. We define fashion as a socially transmitted system of bodily display in which patterned variation occurs within shared conventions of appearance.

Interdisciplinary Materials, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 834-867, September 2026.Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Relatively open vegetation landscapes promoted early Pleistocene hominin evolution
Communications Earth & EnvironmentVegetation structure and landscape openness are key ecological factors influencing human behavioural and cultural adaptation strategies. However, there is ongoing debate and lack of quantitative assessment about which vegetation landscape and openness ...

‘Do larger molars and robust jaws in early hominins represent dietary adaptation?’ A New Study in Tooth Wear [PDF]
, 2013 Diet imposes significant constraints on the biology and behaviour of animals. The fossil record suggests that key changes in diet have taken place throughout the course of human evolution.

Containing Histories Past and Present: Making Samples in the “Huntington Collection” (1893–1921)
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 456-468, September 2026.ABSTRACT The Huntington Anatomical Collection (1893–1921) includes the skeletal remains of immigrants, migrants, and lifelong New York City residents. The collection's formation was coeval with the formalization of physical anthropology, and the collection was made to serve research aims centered on race and origin.

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 494-510, September 2026.ABSTRACT The evolutionary study of human dispersal is a key topic in biological anthropology. However, recent research has revealed inconsistencies between molecular and anatomical data across different timescales and geographic regions. Despite increased interdisciplinary dialogue, these discordances are rarely analyzed in depth or interpreted for ...
