Evolutionary GEM: Evolution of Lactase Persistence
Western Undergraduate Research Journal: Health and Natural Sciences, 2017 Though humans are known to lose lactase ability post-weaning, some people maintain lactase production into adulthood, a condition known as lactase persistence. Global distribution patterns of lactase persistency are inconsistent; the condition is much more prevalent in some populations than others.

Tracing pastoralist migrations to southern Africa with lactase persistence alleles. [PDF]
Curr Biol, 2014 Although southern African Khoisan populations are often assumed to have remained largely isolated during prehistory, there is growing evidence for a migration of pastoralists from eastern Africa some 2,000 years ago, prior to the arrival of Bantu-speaking populations in southern Africa.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Homo sapiens, industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human‐induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have been evident for over 10,000 years, the pace and scale of change has accelerated dramatically since the onset

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2007 The C/T-13910 mutation is the major factor responsible for the persistence of the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LCT) gene expression. Mutation G/A-22018 appears to be only in co-segregation with C/T-13910.

Pathogenesis and Therapeutics for Chronic Pruritus of Unknown Origin: A Systematic Review
International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chronic pruritus of unknown origin (CPUO) is a distressing condition characterized by persistent itch lasting over 6 weeks without an identifiable cause. The underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, complicating diagnosis and treatment.
