Gene Mapping in the 20th and 21st Centuries: Statistical Methods, Data Analysis, and Experimental Design
TL;DR: This review of the theory and practice of gene mapping at the close of the 20th century is reviewed, showing that most methods of linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis are similar in a fundamental sense, with the differences being related more to study design and ascertainment than to technical details of the underlying statistical analysis.

Climatic influences on basal metabolic rates among circumpolar populations.
William R. Leonard,Mark V. Sorensen,Victoria A. Galloway,Gary J. Spencer,M.J. Mosher,Ludmilla Osipova,V. A. Spitsyn +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence for elevations in basal metabolic rate (BMR) among indigenous Northern (circumpolar) populations is examined and potential mechanisms and the adaptive basis for such elevations are considered and suggest that both functional and genetic factors play a role in metabolic adaptation to northern climes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neandertal cold adaptation: Physiological and energetic factors
TL;DR: European Neandertals employed a complex set of physiological cold defenses, homologous to those seen in contemporary humans and nonhuman primates, and a major, high‐energy metabolic adaptation facilitated by modest amounts of highly thermogenic brown adipose tissue (BAT) is proposed.

"If you got everything, it's good enough": Perspectives on successful aging in a Canadian Inuit community
TL;DR: Qualitative analysis of interview data suggests that contrary to much of the literature about culture change in the Canadian North, there appear to be noperceivable differences in the ways Inuit of different age cohorts view aging and elderhood.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that MI among Shuar is not a uniformly negative process but instead produces complex cardiovascular and metabolic health outcomes.
