The paper compares gut microbiomes of Tsimane and Hadza populations to show that many microbes co-migrated with humans globally, but are now vanishing in industrialized populations.

This study compares lumbar paraspinal muscle size and density between the US Framingham Heart Study and Tsimane forager-horticulturalists, finding differences in muscle characteristics and age-related changes.

This study evaluates how face-to-BMI Vision Transformer models perform across diverse human populations, finding that training on population-specific data improves accuracy, while global training data enhances performance in underrepresented groups.

The paper optimizes a reduced representation DNA methylation sequencing protocol for cost-effective, population-scale studies across species.
