Bœufs gaulois et bœufs français : morphologies animales et dynamiques économiques au cours de La Tène et des périodes historiques by Colin Duval, Benoît Clavel

“…Moreover, based on an important unpublished corpus of osteometric data, it provides new insights into changes in cattle morphology and their historical implications in France, from Neolithic to modern times. From the first decrease in livestock size as a consequence of domestication, to growth between the Iron Age and the Roman period, and small individuals during the Middle Ages to the heavy Charolais breeds currently grazing in our pastures, this study aims to link cattle morphology and economic variations in order to improve our vision of French pastoral history, based on archaeozoological remains. …”

Sources of the mitochondrial gene pool of Russians by the results of analysis of modern and paleogenomic data by B. A. Malyarchuk

“…This paper presents the results of analysis of data on the variability of entire mitochondrial genomes in the modern Russian populations in comparison with the distribution of mtDNA haplogroups in the ancient populations of Europe and the Caucasus of the Neolithic and Bronze Age. It was shown that the formation of the modern appearance of the Russian mitochondrial gene pool began approximately 4 thousand years B.C. due to the influx of mtDNA haplotypes characteristic of the population of Central and Western Europe to the east of Europe. …”

Victorian Arts and the Challenge of Modernity: Analogy, the Grid, and Chemical Transformations by Francesca Orestano

“…My article has its point of departure among the artists of the 20th-century avant-garde, who worked with a distinct awareness of their modernity and yet adopted an intellectual vantage point that enlarged their vision, to the extent of allowing them to embrace at once modern art and the art of the Neolithic age. Among them T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Roger Fry, who variously responded to the drawings of Magdalenian artists, or to the art of Homer, while having recourse to modern science, chemistry especially, in order to explain literary phenomena. …”

Problems with studying directional natural selection in humans by S. V. Mikhailova

“…The results obtained by various methods indicate that the direction of human adaptation to new food products has not changed during evolution since the Neolithic; many variants of immunity genes associated with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in modern populations have undergone positive selection over the past 2–3 thousand years owing to the spread of bacterial and viral infections. …”

Les changements hydromorphologiques de l’estuaire de la Loire et l’évolution du port de Rezé/Ratiatum (Loire-Atlantique) by Rémy Arthuis

“…Many of the geomorphological features present in the Loire Valley, between the Roman port of Nantes/Condevicnum (Loire-Atlantique) on the right bank and that of Rezé/Ratiatum (Loire-Atlantique) on the left bank, appeared gradually between 5700 and 4500 BP, during the final Neolithic period. At that time, the marine influences which were dominating the Loire valley in Nantes, then a veritable ria, retreated after a slowing down of the sea level rise and gave way to a conquering river which incised the arms of Pirmil and the Madeleine. …”
