Neandertal Humeri May Reflect Adaptation to Scraping Tasks, but Not Spear Thrusting
Unique compared with recent and prehistoric Homo sapiens, Neandertal humeri are characterised by a pronounced right-dominant bilateral strength asymmetry and an anteroposteriorly strengthened diaphyseal shape. Remodeling in response to asymmetric forces imposed during regular underhanded spear thrusting is the most influential explanatory hypothesis. The core tenet of the "Spear Thrusting Hypot...
متن کاملWere Neandertal Humeri Adapted for Spear Thrusting or Throwing? A Finite Element Study
there is no way I could be where I am today without your amazing love and support, whether it be taking me in, helping me move, listening to me drone on about teeth and FEA of biological systems, or making me crack up at one of our three hour long family dinners. Together, we make the craziest, happiest, and most powerful and loving group of people I know. Thank you. Insanity runs in my family....
متن کاملInterleukin-8 but Not Interleukin-6 Variant May Affect Susceptibility to Brucellosis
Background: Increased levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in acute human brucellosis have been reported. Previous studies have shown that the production and level of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines are associated with the polymorphism of the encoding genes. Objective: To investigate the probable association between IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) gene polymorphisms and susceptib...
متن کاملCirculating dihydrotestosterone may not reflect peripheral formation.
We compared the blood (PBDHT) and urine (PUDHT) production rate of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in normal men and women to determine whether peripheral formation was totally reflected in blood. PBDHT was similar when measured at both sites in men (674 +/- 79 vs. 788 +/- 207 SE micrograms/d); however, PUDHT was greater than PBDHT in women (174 +/- 55 vs. 55 +/- 8 micrograms/d, P less than 0.02). Ex...
متن کاملEye Movements Reflect Reasoning with Mental Images but Not with Mental Models in Orientation Knowledge Tasks
This paper presents results showing that eye movements reflect spatial relations in mental images but not in mental models during nearly similar reasoning tasks with directions. These results contribute to the distinction between mental models and mental images based on eye movements. This differentiation may be applied in the field of human-computer interaction and intelligent assistance syste...
