Deciduous teeth are occasionally well represented in archaeological skeletal samples, yet their potential value in reconstructing biological adaptations of prehistoric populations is often overlooked. Independent investigations of the metric dimensions of deciduous dental remains from the Chalcolithic site of Nevasa (Deccan Plateau, western India) yield a unique opportunity to compare odontometric methods and gain insight regarding dental variation in prehistoric India. Mesiodistal (MD) and buccolingual (BL) dimensions of deciduous teeth were measured by two researchers. Intra- and inter-observer precision in dental measurements are evaluated statistically using multiple methods of comparison. Mean MD and BL dental dimensions (mm) and crown areas (MD × BL; mm2) are reported for Nevasa and compared with mean crown dimensions for Inamgaon. Tooth crown size for Nevasa is evaluated using maxillary, mandibular and total crown areas. The apportionment of tooth mass to incisor and molar tooth classes permits assessment of inter-group variation. No significant differences in mean crown dimensions (MD, BL) or mean crown areas were found between Nevasa (493.6 mm2) and Inamgaon (504.6 mm2). While the apportionment of crown area to incisor and molar tooth classes differed, in overall size (total crown area) both sites are intermediate when compared with prehistoric and living groups from South, Southeast and East Asia. The well documented trend in reduction of permanent tooth size is paralleled by reduction in deciduous tooth size in South Asian prehistory.
乳牙偶尔在考古骨骼样本中得到很好的体现,但它们在重建史前种群的生物适应性方面的潜在价值往往被忽视。对内瓦萨(印度西部德干高原)铜石器时代遗址乳牙遗骸的米制尺寸进行独立调查,为比较牙齿测量方法和了解史前印度牙齿变化提供了独特的机会。两名研究人员测量了乳牙的中远端(MD)和颊舌(BL)尺寸。使用多种比较方法对牙科测量的内部和内部观察者精度进行统计评估。平均MD和BL牙尺寸(mm)和冠面积(MD × BL;我们报道了Nevasa的平均冠尺寸,并与Inamgaon的平均冠尺寸进行了比较。使用上颌、下颌和全冠面积来评估Nevasa的牙冠大小。牙齿质量分配到门牙和磨牙类允许评估群体间的变化。Nevasa (493.6 mm2)和Inamgaon (504.6 mm2)在平均冠尺寸(MD、BL)和平均冠面积上没有显著差异。虽然牙冠面积对门牙和臼齿类的分配不同,但在总体大小(总牙冠面积)上,与史前和生活在南亚、东南亚和东亚的人群相比,这两个地点都处于中等水平。在南亚史前,恒牙大小的减少趋势与乳牙大小的减少是平行的。

In the pre-Hispanic necropolis of Juan Primo, northwest Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) a grave was found containing a 20-25 year-old woman with a foetus in her abdominal region, whose age at death was estimated at 33-35 weeks of gestation. The purpose of this study is to discuss the possible cause of death of the woman and foetus. Skeletons of both individuals were well preserved, permitting a good record of the bones found in the burial, which is compatible with a pregnancy at preterm. The age of the foetus and the position of the left upper limb raise the possibility that their death was the result of a difficult birth (dystocia). However, a number of alternative disorders can be put forward to explain this death in the third trimester of pregnancy, such as eclampsia and abruption placentae. In this case, pertinent ethnohistorical and osteoarchaeological information about the ancient canaries allows us to assess some of the stressors that would increase their maternal mortality. The lack of similar evidence in archaeological contexts makes this an important finding, providing a likely case of obstetric problems and their impact on pre-industrial societies.
在大加纳利岛西北部Juan Primo的前西班牙墓地中,发现了一个坟墓,里面有一名20-25岁的妇女,腹部有一个胎儿,死亡年龄估计为怀孕33-35周。本研究的目的是探讨妇女和胎儿死亡的可能原因。两个人的骨骼都保存得很好,可以很好地记录在埋葬中发现的骨骼,这与早产怀孕相一致。胎儿的年龄和左上肢的位置增加了他们死于难产(难产)的可能性。然而,可以提出一些其他疾病来解释妊娠晚期的死亡,如子痫和胎盘早剥。在这种情况下,有关古代金丝雀的相关民族历史和骨考古学信息使我们能够评估一些可能增加其产妇死亡率的压力源。在考古背景中缺乏类似的证据,这是一个重要的发现,为产科问题及其对工业化前社会的影响提供了可能的案例。

Recent studies indicate that evolution of the craniofacial skeleton is influenced by dietary behavior, which in turn alters masticatory efficacy and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) stability. In this study the mechanical properties of the masticatory system and the integrity of the TMJ in human populations from Northern China, dated to between 3800 BCE and 100 CE, were assessed. The results demonstrate that the mechanical efficiency is comparable to other modern human populations, though variations are present across different populations. While the ratio of overall weighted muscle efficiency for incisor loading vs. molar loading in pastoral and some recent agricultural groups is similar to early Homo sapiens, the ratio in more ancient agricultural groups is similar to the ratio in populations with heavy anterior paramasticatory activities, such as Neandertals, Inuits, and Native Americans. The TMJ vulnerability negatively correlates with the maxillary dental arch size, and positively with the condylar size. These findings suggest that there are multi-directional strategies in adaptation to heavy anterior teeth loading, such as increasing anterior teeth loading efficiency, increasing facial height, increasing facial breath and facial orthognathy, or decreasing anterior facial length. Furthermore, populations or individuals with a smaller dental arch and high biting efficiency could more easily injure the TMJ during unilateral loadings, which may explain the higher prevalence of TMJ disorders in modern humans, especially in women. These findings further reflect the impact of diachronic changes of the masticatory apparatus and lifestyle and their impact on oral health during recent human history.
最近的研究表明,颅面骨骼的进化受饮食行为的影响,从而改变咀嚼功能和颞下颌关节(TMJ)的稳定性。本研究评估了公元前3800年至公元前100年中国北方人群咀嚼系统的力学特性和颞下颌关节的完整性。结果表明,机械效率与其他现代人类人群相当,尽管不同人群之间存在差异。虽然在牧区和一些现代农业群体中,门牙负荷与磨牙负荷的总体加权肌肉效率之比与早期智人相似,但在更古老的农业群体中,这一比例与尼安德特人、因纽特人和美洲原住民等具有大量前咀嚼活动的人群的比例相似。TMJ易损性与上颌牙弓大小呈负相关,与髁突大小呈正相关。这些结果表明,在适应前牙重负荷方面存在多向策略,如提高前牙负荷效率,增加面部高度,增加面部呼吸和面部正颌,或减少前牙长度。此外,牙弓较小、咬合效率高的人群或个体在单侧负荷时更容易损伤TMJ,这可能解释了现代人类,尤其是女性TMJ疾病患病率较高的原因。这些发现进一步反映了近代人类咀嚼器官和生活方式的历时性变化及其对口腔健康的影响。

Growing problem of overweight and obesity in Polish society needs corrective measures to limit its negative consequences. The purpose of the study is to assess the levels of nutritional status and physical activity of people with university education, professors of Poznań universities. The study included 288 Polish university professors. Their socioeconomic status and lifestyle were determined. Based on the BMI and waist circumference people with normal body proportions and proportions above normal were identified. The effect of biological and environmental variables on normal body proportions was assessed with the regression equation. Results: 1) The group is at the top of the social stratification ladder. 2) A high physical activity level, determined by leisure activities in the past, age, sex, and smoking, characterises 13% of women and 24% of men. 3) Obesity and overweight are more frequent in men compared to women, and in people aged over 49 years. 4) In models of logistic regression, where age was a controlled variable, sex was the only variable significantly determining body proportions in the younger group. In the older group, self-assessment of income and savings, physical activity level, smoking and the number of meals per day significantly affected body proportions. The significance of environmental factors for maintaining normal body proportions becomes visible for the studied group at the end of adult life, without showing significant effect in earlier life. This indicates that actions promoting benefits of physical activity and healthy behaviour should be implemented also for people with university education.
波兰社会日益严重的超重和肥胖问题需要采取纠正措施,以限制其负面后果。这项研究的目的是评估受过大学教育的人的营养状况和体育活动水平,波兹纳斯大学的教授。这项研究包括288名波兰大学教授。他们的社会经济地位和生活方式被确定。根据体重指数和腰围,确定了正常身材比例和高于正常身材比例的人。用回归方程评估生物和环境变量对正常身体比例的影响。结果:1)该群体处于社会阶层阶梯的顶端。2)由过去的休闲活动、年龄、性别和吸烟决定的高体力活动水平分别为13%的女性和24%的男性。3)肥胖和超重在男性中比女性更常见,在49岁以上的人群中也是如此。4)在逻辑回归模型中,年龄是一个控制变量,性别是唯一显著决定年轻人身体比例的变量。在老年人中,对收入和储蓄的自我评估、体育活动水平、吸烟情况和每天进餐次数对身体比例有显著影响。环境因素对维持正常身体比例的重要性在研究对象成年后变得明显,而在早期生活中没有显示出明显的影响。这表明,对受过大学教育的人也应采取行动,促进体育活动和健康行为的益处。

The aims of this study were to reconstruct and analyze dental occlusion and skeletal jaw relationship in samples from Mesolithic-Neolithic, Bronze Age, Roman and Medieval times in Serbia, to compare results and to determine possible direction of the occlusal changes. Anatomically preserved skulls with mandibles and most of the posterior teeth were included in the investigation. Dental occlusion was reconstructed using the position of centric occlusion and centric relation and analyzed according to Angle's classification. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were traced manually. Site differences were tested by one-way ANOVA, while sex, age and site impacts were analyzed by UNIANOVA. Most of the individuals in all groups had Class I occlusion. Half-cusp distal occlusion was also present in all groups, but there were no significant differences between the groups. Cephalometric analysis showed no differences in the sagittal measurements, almost all individuals had skeletal Class I jaw relationship. Vertical traits analysis revealed markedly decreased basal plane angle and also decreased posterior facial height and sum of the posterior angles in the oldest group in comparison to the later groups. These results indicate that in the Serbian skeletal sample from the Mesolithic-Neolithic to the Medieval times, malocclusions were present in the form of dentoalveolar Class II occlusion. Skeletal deep bite was found in the oldest group, while horizontal growth pattern decreased from prehistoric to the Medieval times. Samples were too small to confirm environmental impact on the vertical skeletal discrepancies.
本研究的目的是重建和分析塞尔维亚中石器时代-新石器时代、青铜时代、罗马时代和中世纪时期的牙齿咬合和骨骼颌骨的关系,以比较结果并确定咬合变化的可能方向。解剖学上保存完好的头骨、下颌骨和大部分后牙都包括在研究范围内。利用中心咬合位置和中心关系重建牙合,并根据Angle分类进行分析。侧位头颅x线片手工追踪。地点差异采用单因素方差分析,性别、年龄、地点影响采用单因素方差分析。所有组中大多数个体为I类闭塞。所有组均存在半尖端远端咬合,但组间无显著差异。头颅测量分析显示,矢状面测量没有差异,几乎所有个体都有骨骼I类颌骨关系。垂直性状分析结果显示,老龄组与老龄组相比,基底面角明显减小,面部后高度和后角之和明显减小。这些结果表明,在中石器时代-新石器时代至中世纪时期的塞尔维亚骨骼样本中,错误咬合以牙槽齿II类咬合的形式存在。在最古老的群体中发现了骨骼深咬,而水平生长模式从史前到中世纪逐渐减少。样本太小,无法证实环境对垂直骨骼差异的影响。

Mastoid Triangle (MT) is a triangle constructed between the landmarks porion, mastoidale and asterion. The aim of the study is to evaluate the sex differences in the MT size in Bulgarian adults and to develop discriminant functions for sex estimation based on the MT sides and area. The study was carried out on 148 head CT scans. A sample of 53 males and 53 females was used for development of discriminant functions, and a test sample of 21 males and 21 females was applied for their validation. Using the software InVesalius©, 3D models of the skulls were segmented and exported in STL format. The 3D coordinates of the landmarks porion, asterion and mastoidale were collected using the software MeshLab©. The MT sides, area and angles were calculated. The sex differences were assessed by the independent t-test. Bilateral differences were evaluated using the paired t-test. Univariate and multivariate discriminant function analyses were applied. The results showed that the MT sides and area differed significantly between both sexes. Sex differences were also established for the angle at mastoidale. Bilateral differences were found in males for the distance porion-mastoidale, which was significantly greater on the right side. The MT dimensions showed sufficient discriminating power for sex estimation among Bulgarians (up to 89%), and the total MT area proved to be the best single sex discriminating trait. The test sample corroborated the usefulness of the MT in sex estimation demonstrating similar or higher overall accuracy rates.
乳突三角形(MT)是由乳突、乳突和asterion三个标志组成的三角形。该研究的目的是评估保加利亚成年人MT大小的性别差异,并根据MT侧面和面积开发性别估计的判别函数。这项研究是在148个头部CT扫描上进行的。判别函数的开发采用男53人、女53人的样本,验证采用男21人、女21人的检验样本。利用InVesalius©软件对颅骨三维模型进行分割并导出为STL格式。利用MeshLab©软件采集地标部分、星形和乳突的三维坐标。计算MT边、面积和角度。性别差异采用独立t检验。采用配对t检验评估双侧差异。采用单变量和多变量判别函数分析。结果表明,两性间MT侧数和面积存在显著差异。乳突角也存在性别差异。双侧差异在男性中发现的距离部分乳突,这是显着更大的右侧。MT维度对保加利亚人的性别估计具有足够的辨别能力(高达89%),MT总面积被证明是最佳的单一性别区分特征。测试样本证实了MT在性别估计中的有用性,显示出相似或更高的总体准确率。

The test sample corroborated the usefulness of the MT in sex estimation demonstrating similar or higher overall accuracy rates.","PeriodicalId":46714,"journal":{"name":"Homo-Journal of Comparative Human Biology","volume":"39 1","pages":"63-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76644850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about the lifeways of the people who inhabited the Mongolian steppe during the Bronze Age (c. 4450-2650 BP). Palaeopathological analysis allows us to draw inferences about the lifeways of past people from the indicators of health and lifestyle recorded in human remains. This paper presents results of analysis of the remains of 25 individuals excavated in northern Mongolia. Overall, the remains demonstrated very little pathology. In particular the lack of evidence for both infectious and non-communicable diseases, along with the patterns of dental pathology indicate a group of people who experienced few health insults and little stress. The types of trauma, Schmorl’s nodes and patterns of degenerative joint disease present in the sample are suggestive of interpersonal violence and horse riding. The findings are consistent with a traditional pastoral lifeway where people live in small groups, rely on a protein-rich diet and use animals for transportation.

关于青铜时代(公元前4450-2650年)蒙古草原居民的生活方式,人们知之甚少。古病理学分析使我们能够从人类遗骸中记录的健康和生活方式指标中推断出过去人们的生活方式。本文介绍了对蒙古北部出土的25具古人类遗骸的分析结果。总的来说,这些遗骸几乎没有病理变化。特别是缺乏传染病和非传染性疾病的证据,以及牙齿病理的模式表明,这群人的健康几乎没有受到损害,压力也很小。样本中出现的创伤类型、施莫尔淋巴结和退行性关节疾病的模式提示人际暴力和骑马。这一发现与传统的田园生活方式相一致,人们生活在小群体中,依靠富含蛋白质的饮食,并使用动物作为交通工具。

To determine possible variations in children’s health status and mortality associated with variations in maternal stature, an anthropometric and demographic study was conducted in a Roma population of poor socio-economic status in rural Serbia. Data were collected during several years of anthropological fieldwork. The sample consisted of 691 women, ranging from 16 to 80 years of age. In addition to stature, Roma women’s demographics, reproductive history, reproductive outcomes and health status of their children were collected. The results provide evidence of a significant association between mother's stature and their children’s health and mortality, with a shorter mother's stature predisposing children to poor health and survival outcomes. The findings could prompt development of a definition of short stature among Roma women to evaluate the risk based on height distribution among the general Roma population.

为了确定儿童健康状况和死亡率可能与产妇身材差异有关的差异,对塞尔维亚农村社会经济地位较差的罗姆人进行了人体测量学和人口统计学研究。数据是在几年的人类学田野调查中收集的。样本包括691名女性,年龄从16岁到80岁 不等。除身材外,还收集了罗姆妇女的人口统计、生育史、生育结果及其子女的健康状况。研究结果为母亲的身高与其子女的健康和死亡率之间存在显著关联提供了证据,母亲的身高越矮,子女的健康和生存状况就越差。这些发现可能会促使罗姆妇女对身材矮小的定义的发展,从而根据罗姆人的身高分布来评估患病风险。
