First direct evidence of chalcolithic footwear from the near eastern highlands. by Ron Pinhasi, Boris Gasparian, Gregory Areshian, Diana Zardaryan, Alexia Smith, Guy Bar-Oz, Thomas Higham

“…The Chalcolithic shoe provides solid evidence for the use of footwear among Old World populations at least since the Chalcolithic. Other 4th millennium discoveries of shoes (Italian and Swiss Alps), and sandals (Southern Israel) indicate that more than one type of footwear existed during the 4th millennium BC, and that we should expect to discover more regional variations in the manufacturing and style of shoes where preservation conditions permit.…”

Population size influences the type of nucleotide variations in humans by Sankar Subramanian

“…Conclusions Our results highlight the huge variation in the types of homozygous and high frequency polymorphisms between world populations. We observed the same pattern for deleterious variants, implying that the homozygous polymorphisms associated with recessive genetic diseases will be more enriched with G or C in populations with large N e (e.g. …”

Population-Based Incidence Rates of First-Ever Stroke in Central Vietnam. by Hirotomo Yamanashi, Mai Quang Ngoc, Tran Van Huy, Motoi Suzuki, Akira Tsujino, Michiko Toizumi, Kensuke Takahashi, Vu Dinh Thiem, Dang Duc Anh, Nguyen Thi Hien Anh, Le Huu Tho, Takahiro Maeda, Sharon E Cox, Lay-Myint Yoshida, Koya Ariyoshi

“…The age-adjusted incidence of FES was 115.7 (95% CI 95.9-139.1) when adjusted to the WHO world populations. Importantly, age-adjusted intracerebral hemorrhage was as much as one third of total FES: 36.9 (95% CI 26.1-51.0).We found a considerable proportion of FES in Vietnam to be attributable to intracerebral hemorrhage, which is as high or exceeding levels seen in high-income countries. …”
