Serum Vitamin D Levels at Birth Are Not Associated With the Formation of Interglobular Dentin in Deciduous Teeth of Modern New Zealand Children
Interglobular dentin (IGD) has been used as a biomarker for vitamin D deficiency (VDD) in past populations. However, an evidence‐based threshold for the levels of serum vitamin D associated with IGD occurrence has not been established. H...

The Ethical Use and Legality of Medical Examiner Data: Preliminary Lessons From the New Mexico Decedent Image Database
Objective: Advances in postmortem imaging technologies are transforming medical examiner practice, enabling the creation of large‐scale digital collections of decedent data that support research across medicine, public health, forensics,...

Constancy of Sexual Dimorphism in the Infracranial Skeleton
Sexual dimorphism in the human infracranial skeleton has been extensively studied, yet its structural organization across skeletal regions remains incompletely characterized at a global scale. Using a geographically diverse sample of 317...

Changes in Cortisol and Testosterone During Acclimatization and the Relationship to Energetic Outcomes
Objectives: When in energetically demanding environments (e.g., high altitude, backcountry expeditions), humans acclimatize to compounded intensive stressors. Acclimatization is possible in part by using the dynamically responsive neuroe...

Sticks and Stones: Hand Preference and Grip in Wild Chimpanzee Tool‐Use
Objectives: Humans exhibit a near‐universal right‐handed bias, linked to hemispheric brain lateralization, yet its evolutionary origins remain unclear. Wild chimpanzees, one of our closest living relatives, show diverse tool‐use behavior...

Metric Variation in Pliopithecoid Mandibular Molars From the Late Miocene Fossil Locality of Rudabánya, Hungary
Objectives: Rudabánya II (RII) is a 10‐million‐year‐old fossil locality in Hungary that preserves a rich assemblage of vertebrate fossils, including specimens attributed to the pliopithecoid Anapithecus hernyaki . The RII dental remains ...

Of Monsters and Monkeys: Queering the Study of Genetic Chimerism in Primates
Scientific research is a political enterprise, and is therefore susceptible to cultural biases. With its central role in understanding humans as a species, primatology is particularly vulnerable to this dynamic, requiring researchers to ...

Environmental Context of Hominin Foot Evolution
Objectives: This study investigates the environmental contexts that influenced the evolution of hominin foot morphology, focusing on when, where, and under what conditions key synapomorphies evolved. We test whether shifts in ecological ...

Runs of Homozygosity and Signatures of Positive Selection in Colombian Native American Populations: Genetic Architecture and Demographic History
Objectives: Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are suitable for studying population demographic history. This study analyzed whole‐genome patterns of homozygosity and natural selection in Colombian indigenous populations to identify their role ...
