The estimation and evolution of hominin body mass Open

Christopher B. Ruff, Bernard Wood · 2023

Body mass is a critical variable in many hominin evolutionary studies, with implications for reconstructing relative brain size, diet, locomotion, subsistence strategy, and social organization. We review methods that have been proposed for…

Long-term trends in human body size track regional variation in subsistence transitions and growth acceleration linked to dairying Open

Jay T. Stock, Emma Pomeroy, Christopher B. Ruff, Marielle Brown, Matthew A. Gasperetti , et al. · 2023

Evidence for a reduction in stature between Mesolithic foragers and Neolithic farmers has been interpreted as reflective of declines in health, however, our current understanding of this trend fails to account for the complexity of cultura…

Effects of reduced mobility on trabecular bone density in captive big cats Open

Habiba Chirchir, Christopher B. Ruff, Kristofer M. Helgen, Richard Potts · 2022

Bone responds to elevated mechanical loading by increasing in mass and density. Therefore, wild animals should exhibit greater skeletal mass and density than captive conspecifics. This expectation is pertinent to testing bone functional ad…

Predicting skeletal stature using ancient <span>DNA</span> Open

Samantha L. Cox, Hannah M. Moots, Jay T. Stock, Andrej Shbat, Bárbara Domingues Bitarello , et al. · 2021

Objectives Ancient DNA provides an opportunity to separate the genetic and environmental bases of complex traits by allowing direct estimation of genetic values in ancient individuals. Here, we test whether genetic scores for height in anc…

Scaling and relative size of the human, nonhuman ape, and baboon calcaneus Open

Christine M. Harper, Christopher B. Ruff, Adam D. Sylvester · 2021

Among human and nonhuman apes, calcaneal morphology exhibits significant variation that has been related to locomotor behavior. Due to its role in weight‐bearing, however, both body size and locomotion may impact calcaneal morphology. Dete…

Skeletal ageing in Virunga mountain gorillas Open

Christopher B. Ruff, Juho-Antti Junno, Winnie Eckardt, Kirsten Gilardi, Antoine Mudakikwa , et al. · 2020

Bone loss and heightened fracture risk are common conditions associated with ageing in modern human populations and have been attributed to both hormonal and other metabolic and behavioural changes. To what extent these age-related trends …

A Human Digital Twin as Building Block of Open Identity Management for the Internet of Things Open

Jan Zibuschka, Christopher B. Ruff, Andrea Horch, Heiko Roßnagel · 2020

In networked industry, digital twins aggregate product data along the entire life cycle, from design and production to deployment. This enables interoperability between different data sources and analysis functions and creates an integrate…

Genetic contributions to variation in human stature in prehistoric Europe Open

Samantha L. Cox, Christopher B. Ruff, Robert Maier, Iain Mathieson · 2019

Significance Measurements of prehistoric human skeletal remains provide a record of changes in height and other anthropometric traits over time. Often, these changes are interpreted in terms of plastic developmental response to shifts in d…

Genetic contributions to variation in human stature in prehistoric Europe Open

Samantha L. Cox, Christopher B. Ruff, Robert Maier, Iain Mathieson · 2019

The relative contributions of genetics and environment to temporal and geographic variation in human height remain largely unknown. Ancient DNA has identified changes in genetic ancestry over time, but it is not clear whether those changes…
