Microevolutionary Hypothesis of the Obesity Epidemic

The paper proposes that reduced childbirth mortality due to modern obstetrics has led to a microevolutionary shift in the obesogenic gene pool, contributing to the global obesity epidemic.

Relationships between the hard and soft dimensions of the nose in Pan troglodytes and Homo sapiens reveal the nasal protrusions of Plio-Pleistocene hominids

This study compares nasal protrusion patterns between humans and chimpanzees to develop a method for predicting nasal features in ancient hominids.

Towards the restoration of ancient hominid craniofacial anatomy: Chimpanzee morphology reveals covariation between craniometrics and facial soft tissue thickness

This study establishes regression models for estimating facial soft tissue thickness in chimpanzees, showing covariation with craniometric dimensions and interspecies compatibility with hominids similar to chimpanzees.

Human major infections: tuberculosis, treponematoses, leprosy - a paleopathological perspective of their evolution

This study analyzes the prevalence of tuberculosis, treponematoses, and leprosy over time using paleopathological data from 69,379 skeletons, finding a statistically significant decline in prevalence.

Non-canonical localization of RubisCO under high light conditions in the toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806

This study shows that microcystin affects RubisCO localization and function in Microcystis aeruginosa under high light, leading to changes in metabolic products and potential microbial interactions.
