External Auditory Exostoses And Hearing Loss In The Shanidar 1 Neandertal, Erik Trinkaus, Sebastian Villotte
External Auditory Exostoses And Hearing Loss In The Shanidar 1 Neandertal, Erik Trinkaus, Sebastian Villotte
KIP Articles
The Late Pleistocene Shanidar 1 older adult male Neandertal is known for the crushing fracture of his left orbit with a probable reduction in vision, the loss of his right forearm and hand, and evidence of an abnormal gait, as well as probable diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. He also exhibits advanced external auditory exostoses in his left auditory meatus and larger ones with complete bridging across the porus in the right meatus (both Grade 3). These growths indicate at least unilateral conductive hearing (CHL) loss, a serious sensory deprivation for a Pleistocene hunter-gatherer. This condition joins the meatal atresia of …
Oldest Human Occupation Of Wallacea At Laili Cave, Timor-Leste, Shows Broad-Spectrum Foraging Responses To Late Pleistocene Environments, Stuart Hawkins, Sue O'Connor, Tim Ryan Maloney
Oldest Human Occupation Of Wallacea At Laili Cave, Timor-Leste, Shows Broad-Spectrum Foraging Responses To Late Pleistocene Environments, Stuart Hawkins, Sue O'Connor, Tim Ryan Maloney
KIP Articles
The Wallacea Archipelago provides an extraordinary laboratory for the study of human colonisation and adaptation, yet few detailed archaeological studies have been conducted in the region that span the earliest phase of human settlement. Laili Cave, in northern Timor-Leste, preserves the oldest human occupation in this insular region with a cultural sequence spanning 11,200 to 44,600 cal BP. Small-bodied vertebrates and invertebrates were recovered to the lowest excavated levels, associated with highly concentrated stone artefacts. We report on human behavioural adaptations within the context of Pleistocene environments and changing landscapes using zooarchaeological, stone artefact, bathymetric, and experimental isotopic analyses. Results …
The Age Of Homo Naledi And Associated Sediments In The Rising Star Cave, South Africa, Paul H.G.M. Dirks, Eric M. Roberts, Hannah Hilbert-Wolf
The Age Of Homo Naledi And Associated Sediments In The Rising Star Cave, South Africa, Paul H.G.M. Dirks, Eric M. Roberts, Hannah Hilbert-Wolf

New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments with U-Th and palaeomagnetic analyses of flowstones to establish that all sediments containing Homo naledi fossils can be allocated to a single stratigraphic entity (sub-unit 3b), interpreted to be deposited between 236 ka and 414 ka. This result has been confirmed independently by dating three H. naledi teeth with combined U-series and electron spin resonance (US-ESR) dating. Two dating scenarios for the fossils were tested by varying the assumed levels of 222Rn loss in the encasing sediments: a …
Earliest Human Presence In North America Dated To The Last Glacial Maximum: New Radiocarbon Dates From Bluefish Caves, Canada, Lauriane Bourgeon, Ariane Burke, Thomas Higham
Earliest Human Presence In North America Dated To The Last Glacial Maximum: New Radiocarbon Dates From Bluefish Caves, Canada, Lauriane Bourgeon, Ariane Burke, Thomas Higham
KIP Articles
The timing of the first entry of humans into North America is still hotly debated within the scientific community. Excavations conducted at Bluefish Caves (Yukon Territory) from 1977 to 1987 yielded a series of radiocarbon dates that led archaeologists to propose that the initial dispersal of human groups into Eastern Beringia (Alaska and the Yukon Territory) occurred during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This hypothesis proved highly controversial in the absence of other sites of similar age and concerns about the stratigraphy and anthropogenic signature of the bone assemblages that yielded the dates. The weight of the available archaeological evidence …

After the initial insult in traumatic brain injury (TBI), secondary neurodegeneration occurs that is intimately associated with neuroinflammation. Prostaglandin (PG) synthases and cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 and 2 may contribute to inflammation in the brain. Temporal and spatial expression features of PG and COX1 and 2 following trauma may guide the development of antineuroinflammation strategies. Here, we examined PG synthase signaling and COX1 and 2 gene expression levels and COX-1- and 2-positive cell types and their temporal localization in TBI-induced brain in an effort to reveal their participation in the disease’s evolving neuroinflammation. Using brain samples from the cerebral cortex of …

Due to lower female incidence, estimates of exogenous and endogenous hormonal factors in head and neck cancers (HNCs, comprising cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx) among women have been inconsistent and unable to account for key HNC risk factors. We pooled data from 11 studies from Europe, North America, and Japan. Analysis included 1572 HNC female cases and 4343 controls. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) estimates and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using multivariate logistic regression models adjusting for tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking. Lower risk was observed in women who used hormone replacement therapy (HRT) …
