Hagen E, Blackwell A, Lightner A, Sullivan R
Am J Biol Anthropol . 2023 Feb; 180(4):589-617. PMID: 36815505
The human lineage transitioned to a more carnivorous niche 2.6 mya and evolved a large body size and slower life history, which likely increased zoonotic pathogen pressure. Evidence for this...

Blackwell A, Garcia A
Am J Hum Biol . 2022 Jul; 34(11):e23784. PMID: 35861267
Objective: Immune function is multifaceted and characterizations based on single biomarkers may be uninformative or misleading, particularly when considered across ecological contexts. However, measuring the many facets of immunity in...

Barrett T, Liebert M, Eick G, Ridgeway-Diaz J, Madimenos F, Blackwell A, et al.
Am J Hum Biol . 2021 Dec; 34(11):e23713. PMID: 34914157
Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is associated with age-related chronic disease, and co-infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may compound disease risk. We aimed to assess the frequency of CMV infection and...

Schneider-Crease I, Blackwell A, Kraft T, Emery Thompson M, Suarez I, Cummings D, et al.
Evol Med Public Health . 2021 Dec; 9(1):349-359. PMID: 34868595
Background: Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) and humans share long co-evolutionary histories over which STHs have evolved strategies to permit their persistence by downregulating host immunity. Understanding the interactions between STHs and...

Jaeggi A, Blackwell A, von Rueden C, Trumble B, Stieglitz J, Garcia A, et al.
Elife . 2021 May; 10. PMID: 33988506
In high-income countries, one's relative socio-economic position and economic inequality may affect health and well-being, arguably via psychosocial stress. We tested this in a small-scale subsistence society, the Tsimane, by...

Anderson A, Linda Sutherland M, ODonnell L, Hill E, Hunt D, Blackwell A, et al.
Int J Paleopathol . 2021 May; 33:209-219. PMID: 33984628
Objective: The current study evaluates the feasibility of using clinical cranial computed tomography (CT) scans for assessing the presence and morphology of porous cranial lesions (cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis). Methods:...

DeLouize A, Liebert M, Madimenos F, Urlacher S, Schrock J, Cepon-Robins T, et al.
Am J Hum Biol . 2021 Mar; 34(1):e23590. PMID: 33749068
Objective: Anemia is an important global health challenge. We investigate anemia prevalence among Indigenous Shuar of Ecuador to expand our understanding of population-level variation, and to test hypotheses about how...

Cepon-Robins T, Blackwell A, Gildner T, Liebert M, Urlacher S, Madimenos F, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2021 Feb; 118(8). PMID: 33597300
Disgust is hypothesized to be an evolved emotion that functions to regulate the avoidance of pathogen-related stimuli and behaviors. Individuals with higher pathogen disgust sensitivity (PDS) are predicted to be...

Blackwell A, Garcia A, Keivanfar R, Bay S
Am J Phys Anthropol . 2021 Feb; 174(4):670-685. PMID: 33595836
Objectives: Flow cytometry is a powerful tool for investigating immune function, allowing for the quantification of leukocytes by subtype. Yet it has not been used extensively for field work due...

Garcia A, Trumble B, Kraft T, Murillo S, Marquez M, Gurven M, et al.
Am J Phys Anthropol . 2021 Jan; 173(3):463-479. PMID: 33460061
Background: Altered hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function and related changes in circulating glucocorticoids have been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases that involve dysregulated immune function. Glucocorticoid hormones have both direct...
