Multiregion transcriptomic profiling of the primate brain reveals signatures of aging and the social environment
Chiou, K. L., DeCasien, A. R., Rees, K. P., Testard, C., Spurrell, C. H., Gogate, A. A., … Snyder-Mackler, N. (2022, November 24). NATURE NEUROSCIENCE.
MeSH headings : Female; Male; Humans; Animals; Neurodegenerative Diseases; Macaca mulatta; Transcriptome; Aging / genetics; Social Environment; Solitary Nucleus
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that age-related changes in the level and variance of gene expression occur in genes associated with neural functions and neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, and shown that higher social status in females is associated with younger relative transcriptional ages, providing a link between the social environment and aging in the brain.

Social connections predict brain structure in a multidimensional free-ranging primate society
SCIENCE ADVANCES, 8(15).
MeSH headings : Animals; Brain / diagnostic imaging; Humans; Macaca mulatta; Social Behavior; Temporal Lobe
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that the size of specific brain structures varies with the number of direct affiliative social connections and suggested that this relationship may arise during development, and proposed links between social network size, biological success, and the expansion of specificbrain circuits are reinforced.

Internal structural properties of the humeral diaphyses in an early modern human from Tianyuan Cave, China
QUATERNARY INTERNATIONAL, 591, 107–118.
author keywords: Diaphyseal cortical thickness; Bone rigidity; Morphometric mapping; Upper limb; Late pleistocene; East asia
TL;DR:
It is shown that upper limb internal structures can provide important information for inferring the behavior of ancient hominins, and the bilateral asymmetry of the right and left humeri may be more informative for discriminating between fossil and modern human samples than cortical thickness or rigidity values in only one side.

Morphological Identification of Hair Recovered from Feces for Detection of Cannibalism in Eastern Chimpanzees
FOLIA PRIMATOLOGICA, 89(3-4), 240–250.
author keywords: Microscopy; Forensics; Guard hair; Infanticide; Pan troglodytes
MeSH headings : Animals; Cannibalism; Feces; Hair / anatomy & histology; Pan troglodytes / anatomy & histology; Pan troglodytes / physiology; Tanzania
TL;DR:
It is found that chimpanzee guard hair morphology is unique among tested mammals and that the presence of abundant chimpanzee hair in feces is likely the result of cannibalism and not incidental ingestion from grooming or other means, and morphological analysis of guard hairs from feces is a promising, cost-effective tool for the determination of cannibalistic acts in chimpanzees.

Evaluating morphometric body mass prediction equations with a juvenile human test sample: accuracy and applicability to small-bodied hominins
Journal of Human Evolution, 115, 65–77.
author keywords: Children; Australopithecus; Homo; Body size; Stature; Bi-iliac breadth
MeSH headings : Animals; Anthropology, Physical / methods; Body Weight; Child; Female; Hominidae / physiology; Humans; Male
TL;DR:
Because morphometric equations are reasonably accurate when applied to this juvenile test sample, it is argued these equations may be used to predict body mass in small-bodied hominins, despite the potential for some error induced by differing body proportions and/or extrapolation beyond the original reference sample range.
