Abstract. Viruses differ in the number and types of host tissues in which they replicate. For example, systemically replicating viruses such as measles inf

Objectives With a focus on variability, biological anthropology has nominally centered the population as a key unit of analysis and node of evolutionary change. In this paper, we examine constructio...

Boucherie et al. apply physics-based models to the arrangement of locations to study how geography shapes human movement. They find an underlying pattern in how people choose to move, independent of geographical layout.

Population movements constitute a significant driver of cultural change in prehistoric societies. In recent years, sulfur isotopes have emerged as a valuable approach for distinguishing human/animal p...

Epidemiological methods are used to show that the Great Fear of 1789, a series of peasant insurrections in rural revolutionary France, was driven by deliberate political action rather than spontaneous...

Dengue has strong synchrony across the Americas, indicating that a mix of intrinsic and extrinsic factors drives epidemic transmission dynamics.

Extreme weather is common in high malaria burden areas and is likely to increase in severity owing to climate change–related severe weather events. Yet, data on infection rates after these events and ...

How does social network structure amplify or stifle behavior diffusion? Existing theory suggests that when social reinforcement makes the adoption ...

Screening shotgun-sequencing data from ancient humans covering 37,000 years of Eurasian history uncovers the widespread presence of ancient bacterial, viral and parasite DNA and zoonotic pathogens coincide with the widespread domestication of livestock.

Author summary The COVID-19 vaccines rollout initially faced significant challenges. Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) complemented vaccinations in addressing these issues. However, the interpla...

Analysis of species distribution models in a pan-African database comprising chronometrically dated archaeological sites over the past 120,000 years shows major expansion in the human niche from 70 ka...

Analyzing readouts of inflammaging across four cohorts, Franck and colleagues identify strong variation and observe that inflammaging, in its known form, primarily emerges in industrialized—but not no...

The USDA announced it would begin the process of rolling back protections for nearly 59 million roadless acres of the National Forest system.

Social influence cannot be identified from purely observational data on social networks, because such influence is generically confounded with latent homophily, that is, with a node’s network partn...

Author summary The effects of climate change on human health are becoming more evident, but we often overlook one crucial factor: how extreme weather events influence our behaviors and, in turn, the s...

Feltham et al. develop a sampling strategy to evaluate social network cognition across 82 Honduran villages, systematically mapping the underlying village networks.

We seek a postdoctoral research associate to work with Professor Christopher Kuzawa at Harvard University. The postdoc will oversee analysis and write up of an extensive longitudinal dataset that has ...
