Abstract Objectives Isotopic analysis has been proven a valuable tool for reconstructing dietary habits in the ancient world. In this work we examine the evolution of Greek diet from the Neolithic period (6800–3000 BC) to modern times. Materials and Methods We present isotopic analysis results for δ13C and δ15Ν of adult human bone collagen...

Abstract Objectives To analyze the mitochondrial diversity in three admixed populations and evaluate the historical migration effect of native southern population movement to Santiago (capital of Chile). The intensity of migration was quantified using three mitochondrial lineages restricted to South-Central native groups. Methods D-loop...

Distal fibula morphology of extant hominids and Australopithecus afarensis. Abstract Objectives Recent studies highlighted the importance of the fibula to further our understanding of locomotor adaptations in fossil hominins. In this study, we present a three-dimensional geometric morphometric (3D-GM) investigation of the distal fibula in...
