Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have identified two new alleles and four existing ones among the Lakota Sioux tribe, increasing the likelihood of finding compatible organ donors within their population. This study could facilitate transplantation in Native American populations with high rates of diabetes and end-stage renal disease.
A new study published in Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research found that alcohol dependence is a concern in American Indian communities, but rates are lower than previously reported. The research highlights cultural differences in alcohol use and dependence among Northern Plains and Southwest tribes.
A recent study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that Native Americans who experienced adverse childhood environments were more likely to develop alcoholism. The research highlights the need for social programs and preventive education to address this issue.
Researchers tracked Miss Pearl's epic journey and welcomed her back to her nesting beach in Nicaragua after three years, gaining crucial insights into hawksbill sea turtle behavior and habitat protection. The satellite transmitter on Miss Pearl's back provided vital information on her location and diving patterns.
A study of Native American artifacts found high levels of mercury, naphthalene, and DDT, posing a risk to human health. Museums are advised to handle these objects with proper precautions until further research is conducted.
The Tribal Environmental and Natural Resources Management (TENRM) program combines Western science with Native American perspectives, providing a unique educational approach. The program addresses the lack of Native Americans in STEM fields, offering flexible curriculum and support to students.
Researchers explore the concept of tribal warfare, revealing that revenge is a primary motive, often linked to deterrence, while social units strive for balance in losses and gains. The study of Waorani tribe in Ecuador suggests that a cultural understanding of revenge can be complex and nuanced.
The behavior of punishing others for their injury is widespread in the animal kingdom, with humans adding a conscious sense of what to achieve through revenge. This leads to complex social rules governing who can be targeted and when, often prioritizing balance over personal relationships.
Roscoe's research on New Guinea tribes suggests that revenge-driven wars are fueled by humans' unique ability to model actions and manipulate emotional states. This allows for the de-humanization of enemies, making it easier to justify violence.
Research found that African populations with a fish-rich diet had lower leptin levels compared to those on a vegetarian diet. This association suggests that consuming fish may improve the body's sensitivity to leptin, which could help prevent obesity and related health issues.
Researchers discovered the CASQ2 gene mutation responsible for PVT (Pericardial Ventricular Dysfunction), a fatal heart condition. The study found that the mutation impairs calcium ion release, leading to heart failure.
Researchers have discovered the remains of seven types of edible nuts and stone tools used to crack them open at the Gesher Benot Ya'aqov site. The findings suggest that hominins in the region had a diverse diet, including nuts with high nutritional value.
