The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The obstetrical dilemma hypothesis (ODH) proposes an evolutionary trade‐off between obstetric requirements and locomotor performance. However, whether external pelvic breadth measures influence walking energetics during human growth remains poorly understood.

Nineteenth Century Stature and Family Size: Binding Constraint or Productive Labor Force? [PDF]
The use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in economics. Nevertheless, a neglected area in historical stature studies is the relationship between stature and family size, and statures are documented here to be ...

Vitamin K2 deficiency associated with short stature in children: a cross-sectional study
BMC PediatricsBackground Short stature in children is a common concern that can result from various underlying conditions. While factors such as growth hormone deficiency and nutritional deficiencies are well-known contributors, the role of vitamin K2 (VK2) in the ...

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Associations of IGF-1, vitamin D, and bone minerals with short stature in children aged 24–59 months
Frontiers in EndocrinologyBackgroundChild growth results from the interaction of genetic, endocrine, nutritional, and environmental factors. Short stature is defined as a height-for-age Z-score below −2 standard deviations, according to the WHO Child Growth Standards 2006. Linear
