Quantum Leaps in Human Biocultural Evolution and the Relationship to Cranial Capacity

Gerhard W. Weber

Summary: The understanding of the evolution of the genus Homo requires considering both biology and culture as interacting inheritance systems shaping human nature. This study demonstrates the parallel progression of brain-size increase and cultural development using cranial capacity data and archaeological records, indicating several quantum leaps in biocultural evolution. The leaps include the use of sophisticated tools and fire, the development of symbolism, and the current challenge of intentional evolution. Extrapolation of the model into the future suggests that the persistence of humans as biological entities is not guaranteed.

Understanding racism in physical (biological) anthropology

Michael L. Blakey

Summary: The mainstream of American physical anthropology originated as a racist and eugenical science but later shifted towards being more anti-racial. However, it still fails to fully address the social histories of inequitable biological variation and marginalizes the contributions of Blacks. Critical disciplinary history and a shift towards biocultural studies may help in creating an anti-racist human biology.

Biodiversity and the human past: Lessons for conservation biology

John K. Millhauser, Timothy K. Earle

Summary: This article reviews the impact of human activities on biodiversity through archaeological and ethnographic cases, which cover different ecologies, population densities, and economies. The author points out that while humans have always transformed ecosystems, many pre-industrial societies maintained diverse and stable environments. Present-day solutions should involve local communities, especially Indigenous and traditional societies, empowering them to shape policies and achieve conservation goals.

Internet gaming, embodied distress, and psychosocial well-being: A syndemic-syndaimonic continuum

Jeffrey G. Snodgrass, Michael G. Lacy, Steven W. Cole

Summary: This article examines internet gaming-related suffering as a novel syndemic most prevalent among contemporary emerging adults. Through synthetic analysis of prior research, the study affirms the mutual conditioning of social factors and mental and physical wellness in the context of online play. Using biocultural anthropological mixed methods, the study focuses on statistical interactions between intensive gaming and social well-being in relation to genomic markers of immune function. The findings demonstrate that intensive game play is associated with compromised immunity markers among gamers with low social well-being, but correlates with decreased stress-related immunity activation among those with robust social connection. The interaction between higher social well-being and intensive game play emerges as a beneficial practice that increases resilience to negative psychological and genomic responses. The study argues for an expanded syndemics analysis that considers both the exacerbation of dysfunction and the non-additive enhancement of health resulting from the synergistic interaction between two social conditions. The study proposes the term "syndaimonics" to capture the synergies between social context and mental flourishing, highlighting sources of health resilience and overall improved psychosocial wellbeing.

Plant ecological genomics at the limits of life in the Atacama Desert

Gil Eshel, Viviana Araus, Soledad Undurraga, Daniela C. Soto, Carol Moraga, Alejandro Montecinos, Tomas Moyano, Jonathan Maldonado, Francisca P. Diaz, Kranthi Varala, Chase W. Nelson, Orlando Contreras-Lopez, Henrietta Pal-Gabor, Tatiana Kraiser, Gabriela Carrasco-Puga, Ricardo Nilo-Poyanco, Charles M. Zegar, Ariel Orellana, Martin Montecino, Alejandro Maass, Miguel L. Allende, Robert DeSalle, Dennis W. Stevenson, Mauricio Gonzalez, Claudio Latorre, Gloria M. Coruzzi, Rodrigo A. Gutierrez

Summary: The Atacama Desert in Chile is a harsh environment with extreme conditions, yet it supports a diverse range of plant species including endemic plants. Research conducted in the region has identified genes associated with plant adaptation to stressful environments, including those linked to stress responses, metabolism, and energy production. This genetic information could be valuable for engineering crop resilience to climate change, especially as some Atacama plants are closely related to staple crops.

Climatic niche shifts in introduced species

Olivia K. Bates, Cleo Bertelsmeier

Summary: Studies on niche conservatism assumptions in predicting biological invasions have shown contradictory results, revealing uncertainties in the frequency of niche shifts, potential biases towards conservatism, and the need for a new focus on trends or relative degrees of niche change. Additional experimental studies and computational analyses are recommended to address the mechanisms of niche shifts.

Ecocultural or Biocultural? Towards Appropriate Terminologies in Biocultural Diversity

F. Merlin Franco

Summary: Biocultural diversity and biocultural studies have different contexts in the usage of the term 'biocultural', with the former emphasizing the linkages between biological, cultural, and linguistic diversity, while the latter focuses more on the deterministic influence of physical and social environment on human biology and wellbeing. Both apply 'biocultural' as a descriptor to generate overlapping terminologies such as 'biocultural approach'.

A global analysis of matches and mismatches between human genetic and linguistic histories

Chiara Barbieri, Damian E. Blasi, Epifania Arango-Isaza, Alexandros G. Sotiropoulos, Harald Hammarstrom, Soren Wichmann, Simon J. Greenhill, Russell D. Gray, Robert Forkel, Balthasar Bickel, Kentaro K. Shimizu

Summary: Human history is written in both our genes and our languages, and the congruence between biological and linguistic histories has been a subject of debate. By using a genomic database (GeLaTo), researchers found that populations speaking languages from the same family are genetically similar. However, there are also genetic mismatches between populations closely related linguistically. These mismatches are scattered globally and mainly result from populations adopting the language of genetically different neighboring populations due to demographic shifts.

Repeated mutation of a developmental enhancer contributed to human thermoregulatory evolution

Daniel Aldea, Yuji Atsuta, Blerina Kokalari, Stephen F. Schaffner, Rexxi D. Prasasya, Adam Aharoni, Heather L. Dingwall, Bailey Warder, Yana G. Kamberov

Summary: This study reveals the genetic basis of high eccrine gland density in humans and identifies multiple interacting mutations in the human ECE18 enhancer that promote eccrine gland formation. The research suggests that regulation of the EN1 gene has evolved specifically in humans to contribute to this unique human adaptation.

Developmental environment contributes to rapid trait shifts among newly colonized subterranean habitats

Nathan E. Swanson, Andrew G. Gluesenkamp, Alexandra E. Donny, Suzanne E. McGaugh

Summary: Recent colonization of extreme environments provides unique opportunities to study the early steps of adaptation and the potential for rapid convergent evolution. However, phenotypic shifts during recent colonization may also be due to plasticity in response to changes in the rearing environment. This study analyzes the morphological and behavioral traits of Mexican tetras from recent introductions in different watersheds and finds that most trait differences are due to plasticity, but there is evidence of genetic control in some traits. Wall following behavior shows rapid divergence between subterranean and surface populations, suggesting potential rapid behavioral evolution.

Pearl Memorial Lecture. Humans at the extremes: Exploring human adaptation to ecological and social stressors

William R. Leonard

Summary: This paper discusses how human populations adapt to extreme environmental conditions and the impact of social stress, poverty, and lifestyle change on human biological variation and health. The author examines the research directions in this field by reviewing the successes and critiques of the International Biological Programme (IBP). The author also presents their own field research on human populations living in the Peruvian Andes, the Siberian arctic, and the Bolivian rainforest, exploring the influence of both environmental and social stresses. Lastly, the author highlights the unique advantage of human biologists in studying the interplay between social and ecological domains that affect the human condition.
