Quantifying the Influence of Climate on Human Conflict
TL;DR: The authors found strong causal evidence linking climatic events to human conflict across a range of spatial and temporal scales and across all major regions of the world, and the magnitude of climate's influence is substantial: for each 1 standard deviation (1σ) change in climate toward warmer temperatures or more extreme rainfall, median estimates indicate that the frequency of interpersonal violence rises 4% and the frequency for intergroup conflict rises 14%.
Journal ArticleDOI
The great leveler
TL;DR: The Internet, it turns out, is a steamroller that is leveling a whole bunch of playing fields and is reshaping some of the biggest players in the world economy.

Dietary continuity vs. discontinuity in Bronze Age Italy. The isotopic evidence from Arano di Cellore (Illasi, Verona, Italy)
Alessandra Varalli,Alessandra Varalli,Jacopo Moggi-Cecchi,Irene Dori,Silvia Boccone,Silvia Bortoluzzi,Paola Salzani,Mary Anne Tafuri +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the isotope analysis of human and animal collagen from the Early Bronze Age (EBA) necropolis of Arano di Cellore (Illasi, Verona) has been used to explore dietary practices in Bronze Age northern Italy through the isotopic investigation of the collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of funerary variability, diet, and developmental stress in a Celtic population from NE Italy (3rd-1st c BC).
TL;DR: This study is the first to attempt an exploration of the links between age, sex, funerary variability, and diet in a pre-Roman Celtic community from Italy, and points to a series of analytical and theoretical issues relevant when trying to disentangle the cultural and biological dimensions of social differentiation in the past.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disturbances and noise: Defining furrow-form enamel hypoplasia.
Emmy Bocaege,Simon Hillson +1 more
TL;DR: The method presented here, which is based on microscopic images of the tooth crown as well as recorded measurements of incremental structures, represents a combined visual-metric approach using LOWESS residuals, and as such provides a substantial advancement to previous methods.

Crime and Punishment: An Economic Approach
TL;DR: In fact, some common properties are shared by practically all legislation, and these properties form the subject matter of this essay as discussed by the authors, which is the basis for this essay. But, in spite of such diversity, some commonsense properties are not shared.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origins and the future of microfluidics
TL;DR: The manipulation of fluids in channels with dimensions of tens of micrometres — microfluidics — has emerged as a distinct new field that has the potential to influence subject areas from chemical synthesis and biological analysis to optics and information technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global trends in emerging infectious diseases
Kate E. Jones,Nikkita Gunvant Patel,Marc A. Levy,Adam Storeygard,Adam Storeygard,Deborah Balk,Deborah Balk,John L. Gittleman,Peter Daszak +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that global resources to counter disease emergence are poorly allocated, with the majority of the scientific and surveillance effort focused on countries from where the next important EID is least likely to originate.
Standards for Data Collection from Human Skeletal Remains: Proceedings of a Seminar at the Field Museum of Natural History
TL;DR: In this paper, a hands-on laboratory course is presented to examine the human skeleton as a dynamic, living system, with a review of normal and abnormal variations of each bone and apply this knowledge to make determinations about age, sex, stature and pathological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in immune responses
Sabra L. Klein,Katie L. Flanagan +1 more
TL;DR: It is emphasized that sex is a biological variable that should be considered in immunological studies and contribute to variations in the incidence of autoimmune diseases and malignancies, susceptibility to infectious diseases and responses to vaccines in males and females.
