There is empirical evidence of many diversified ways for energy to be acquired and allocated to reproduction, notably with strategies ranging from strict income breeding (females fueling their gametes with energy gained concomitantly during reproduction) to strict capital breeding (females storing nutrients prior reproduction).Until now, the questi

One of the central puzzles in the study of sociocultural evolution is how and why transitions from small-scale human groups to large-scale, hierarchically more complex ones occurred.Here we develop a spatially explicit agent-based model as a first step towards understanding the ecological dynamics of small and large-scale human groups.By analogy wi

Follow-up of patients affected by COVID-19 has unveiled remarkable findings.Among the several sequelae caused by SARS-CoV-2 viral infection, it is particularly noteworthy that patients are prone to developing depression, anxiety, cognitive disorders, and dementia as part of the post-COVID-19 syndrome.The multisystem aspects of this disease suggest

In the Face Powder present study, the multi-occurrence of twenty (20) mycotoxins in pasta samples consumed in Morocco was assessed.For this, a modified Quick, Easy, Cheap Effective, Rugged, and Safe method was validated.The mycotoxins studied were identified and quantified by liquid chromatography⁻tandem mass spectrometry (LC⁻MS/MS) and

The emergence of the capacity to digest milk in some populations represents a landmark in human evolution, linking genetic change with a component of niche construction, namely dairying.Alleles promoting continued activity of Bowls the enzyme lactase through the life-course (lactase persistence) evolved in several global regions within the last 7,0
