Information fusion for infant age estimation from deciduous teeth using machine learning.

American journal of biological anthropology
OBJECTIVES: Over the past few years, several methods have been proposed to improve the accuracy of age estimation in infants with a focus on dental development as a reliable marker. However, traditional approaches have limitations in efficiently comb...

Associations of maternal stress, gene expression, and newborn birthweight in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

American journal of biological anthropology
OBJECTIVES: Maternal stress has long been associated with lower birthweight, which is associated with adverse health outcomes including many adult diseases. The underlying mechanisms remain elusive although changes in gene expression may play a role....

An osteometric and 3D analysis of the atlanto-occipital joint: An initial screening method to exclude crania and atlases in commingled remains.

American journal of biological anthropology
OBJECTIVES: The anatomical features of the atlanto-occipital joint can be potentially useful in re-associating or excluding crania to atlases in commingled remains. This study investigated whether linear measurements and the 3-dimensional (3D) surfac...

Technical Note: Using Machine Learning to Predict Locomotor Behavior in Great Apes and Humans From Femur Metaphyseal Shape.

American journal of biological anthropology
OBJECTIVES: The morphology of the hominoid distal femoral metaphyseal surface has been demonstrated to reflect locomotor behavior throughout ontogeny. Here, we quantify metaphyseal surface morphology to evaluate its predictive relationship to locomot...
