1. Does research by Cara Ocobock Agustín Fuentes & others, widely reported in SciAm & elsewhere, finally dispel hunter-gatherer myths that have persisted since the 60's? In a preprint led by Vivek V. Venkataraman The Meanings&Dividends of Man the Hunter osf.io/preprints/osf/… we respond🧵

Interesting thread by Ed Hagen on the "Man the Hunter" collection 60 years later, & the latest agitprop from the sadly politicized Scientific American.

This new podcast featuring Cecilia Padilla-Iglesias and Karen Kramer is nicely done - a balanced perspective grounded in the history of anthropology and the ethnography of hunter-gatherer societies. We need more sci comm like this! sapiens.org/archaeology/hu…

Our new preprint looks at how early life environments shape cardiometabolic health among Orang Asli biorxiv.org/content/10.110… "We find support for the Developmental Constraints model but not the Predictive Adaptive Response model in explaining adult cardiometabolic health"

Check out our new preprint! We ask: how does urbanization impact cardiometabolic health among Orang Asli and Turkana? medrxiv.org/content/10.110… "We find that age effects on cardiometabolic health are highly modifiable by lifestyle..."

From our new preprint on physical activity (PA) and cardiometabolic health among the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia. An extreme lifestyle gradient results in drastic variation in PA, w/ esp notable age-related declines in PA with urbanization medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
