This article reflects on the scientific production of the German anthropologist and physician Robert Lehmann-Nitsche in the light of his own historical and intellectual context as well as his personal beliefs and/or conceptions. An approach to his work is proposed from the thematic interests addressed by him, including physical anthropology, folklore, native languages, and mythology. The central question of this article is whether it is possible to find a common element or a common thread among the diversity of interests and topics addressed by Lehmann-Nitsche. The analysis draws on approaches from the anthropology of science and technology, which view science as a contextualized enterprise, while favoring the analysis of the distinctive practices of subjects and the interpretation of different native discourses and categories of analysis. This is fundamental to the study of scientific-academic communities in the process of being constituted such as those of the period analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Special Education in Mexico has neglected the human body in the educational process, the body of the people it serves, the body of the teacher in training, and the body of the trained teacher; with this carelessness go those biological attributes that the human body has to interact with the instability of the real, such as experience. The present work presents a characterization of the experiential human body to explore its explicit presence in the Study Plan of the Bachelor's Degree in Special Education 2022, proposed by the New Mexican School which has integrated the 2004 and 2018 Study Plans. The experiential body is a theoretical construction from physical anthropology and other disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, social anthropology, history, and pedagogy, it recovers experience as a biological attribute of the human body in order to show that the human body is indispensable in the production of knowledge and therefore is not alien to education and particularly Special Education; by working with it implicity, as is the case with the 2022 curriculum, we neglect the most important element with which teachers in Special Education work.

In the mid 1930’s, Dr. Luis Sandoval Smart joined the “Dirección de Investigaciones, Identificación y Pasaportes” of Chile as a biochemist physician, and from this position he started several lines of research about blood types and their properties, which put him on the cutting edge of these studies on a Latin American level, which derived in a career on university physical anthropology. It is notable that through Sandoval Smart’s figure the police laboratory created in 1935 went ahead of the curve on the areas of forensic hematology and seroanthropology. On the other hand, Sandoval Smart’s scientific writings reintroduce a layer of racism to criminalistics and anthropology. Finally, it is worthy of notice that Sandoval Smart is a relatively ignored figure on the disciplinary memory of chilean anthropology, situation about which this work shares some thoughts.

In recent years, the number of people who have been disappeared in Mexico has increased, so this article (of a theoretical nature) was carried out with the aim of measuring the impact of this violent practice in the different social circles where it daily transited the missing person. As specific objectives, we propose: 1) return to the category of “absent body” from physical anthropology to validate the experience lived by the close relatives of the disappeared person; 2) to recover the testimonies of the relatives of the disappeared to measure the psychological effects, social, economic and health of these violent events; 3) make visible and reconsider about these practices and their implications for the health of the population. We consider that with the category of “absent body” we give a new meaning to the fact suffered by the family members, to help them process this painful experience in different ways.

The present study had the objective of evaluating the accuracy of the Ubelaker and Parra method developed in 2008, which is used as an age estimator, in a sample of contemporary adults who lived in the province of Cusco, department of Cusco - Peru; for this purpose, the linear regression equation generated by this study was applied to a sample of 43 dental pieces extracted from skeletons ranging in age between 30 and 73 years, made up of 25 males and 4 females individuals. The application of this method involved the measurement of three dental characteristics that made it possible to obtain the estimated dental age. Once the chronological age at the time of death of the sample of this study was known, the accuracy of this method was evaluated on the margins of error discovered. The mean estimation errors of this method that were obtained in the present investigation, do not show significant differences in individuals who are in an age range of 30 to 49 years, however, ages higher than these, particularly in older individuals, the variation is very noticeable and the differences do reach statistical significance. The total absolute error found in this study was 11.18, so the accuracy of this method is reliable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work we report the results of the osteological analysis of a Peruvian officer who died in the Alto de la Alianza battle (May 26th, 1880, Tacna, Peru). The biological profile and the nature of their lesions were addressed by using standardized osteological methods. The results indicate that he was a male, between 27 and 37 years old, with a mean stature of 1.64 m (with a possible range between 1.58 and 1.72 m), with some morphoscopic craniofacial traits that suggest probable European ancestry. His lesions show that he was seriously wounded by at least two firearm projectiles, and then, executed by enemy troops with another gunshot. The results presented herein are a general example of the combat practices of the late 19th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite being considered one of the founders of physical anthropology, Earnest A. Hooton is a poorly referenced figure in the South American context. His contributions to bioarcheology and the study of the biological variability of populations have not been exempt of criticism. Considered by some to be a clear representative of racism and eugenics, and by others as an academic and mentor who trained a whole generation of physical anthropologists, he made important contributions to anthropology in the interwar period. Therefore, it is interesting to discuss the profile of this scientist in the context of his time. The purpose of this article is to review Earnest A. Hooton's methodological proposal for the analysis and classification of human groups as part of the scientific debates that took place in physical anthropology in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries and which attempted, without much success, to overcome the interest in the typological classification of human groups that dominated in previous decades and that had an influence in South America during the first half of the 20th century, especially since somatological studies were being carried out that sought to explain the great biological and cultural diversity.

De manera tentativa, se puede proponer que en vista de ciertas características de la Plataforma I del Cerro del Tepalcate, como el piso cubierto por carbón y ceniza y las marcas de exposición al fuego en los restos óseos de un individuo enterrado bajo el piso, podría tratarse de una construcción dedicada al culto del viejo dios del fuego, Huehuetéotl.

The Bulletin of Archaeology PUCP presents a series of articles and a note on biological anthropology in South America. The main topics addressed are funerary practices, the environment, society and culture, genetics and evolution, and archaeology and forensic anthropology. The articles focus on the study of funerary practices in archaeological sites in Peru, violence in Late Chancay society, funerary bundles of the Paracas Cavernas tradition, and the analysis of computed tomography scans of bundles from Ancón and Pachacamac. Topics such as pre-Hispanic food in Argentina and the role of genetics in identity and social justice are also discussed. Additionally, works on forensic archaeology in Tucumán, Argentina, and the role of the archaeologist in the search for missing persons in the Peruvian internal armed conflict are presented. These volumes represent an important contribution to the development of biological anthropology in South America. [Extracted from the article]

42 skeletons recovered in an excavation at the site of "El Mirador II" are analyzed. These were buried into Structure 391 of that site, located 12 km north of the city of Merida (Yucatan) and 1.2 km from the Ex-Hacienda de San Antonio Ho'ol, where these individuals came from and whose burial area turned out to be the reused structure built during the late Preclassic period. By integrating the results of the analysis of living conditions through stress markers and biomechanical parameters, by age and sex group, and by physical activity, it appeared that these individuals were subjected to a high metabolic stress, coupled with deficient nurturing related conditions and strenuous physical activities, carried out in the context of the hacienda labor linked to the exploitation of sisal fiber. Thus, correlating data provided by archeology, physical anthropology, and history, we are able to contextualize and get an overview about the living conditions in the henequen haciendas and in particular the Hacienda de San Antonio Ho'ol.

Aim: Currently, rhinoplasties in Mexico are performed based on ideals, not according to our reality. Until now, there is no such information that defines these characteristics in our Latin population. The purpose of this study was to define the ideal nasal profile in Latin women. Material and methods: Lateral photographs of five women considered having an aesthetic nasal profile were taken. The images were altered using an graphic-editor software by modifying the nasolabial angle to 90, 98, 105 and 113 degrees and the nasofacial angle to 31, 34 and 37 degrees resulting in 12 different combinations. The photographs were shown to twenty raters, including plastic surgery staff, and they selected their most aesthetically pleasing nasal profile. The most preferred photographs were determined and they were also compared with the previously described nasal measurements in the literature. Results: The most preferred nasal profile consisted in a combination of 113 degrees for nasolabial angle and 31 degrees for nasofacial, respectively. Angle single analysis reported 105 for nasolabial and 31 for nasofacial. Conclusions: The study revealed preference for an augmented nasolabial angle and reduced nasofacial angle than the previously reported in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The imaging quality of radiographies obtained with a modified portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer was evaluated for the study of cultural heritage. The proposed instrument uses an X-ray tube with (2 mm) Pd anode allowing a 50 kV maximum voltage and 1 mA current. The instrument also equipped with a collimation system, allows to irradiate a square-shaped region in the analyzed object by projecting asquare light beam on its surface. The spatial resolution of the obtained radiographic image makes possible to locate and define perfectly well underlying paintings(pentimenti), to identify filling materials in a painting undergoing a restoration process, as well as radiogrametry of archaeological bone and the identification of a petrified sphere from an archaeological discovery. The radiographic analysis is proposed for the study of physical anthropology in Cuba. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Some reflections on the path of physical anthropology. In our experience as students, researchers and academics in the field of physical anthropology, we have faced new topics in the construction of objects/ subjects of research and the use of methodologies that, while not so new in anthropology, the disciplinary field confronts the hegemonic scientific tradition of a quantitative nature, opening new paths of research into other aspects of the bio-psycho-emo sociocultural complexity from qualitative paradigms. The text unfolds in two parts, the first section recounts the experience of one of the authors in connection with carrying out, and how to carry out, physical anthropology. The second part relates the experience of those who subscribe to this point of view, specifically in relation to six axes practiced in the use of qualitative methodologies in the fields of anthropophysical knowledge.

The in-depth interview: a useful technique in the field of physical anthropology. Qualitative methods are based on the "interpretation" of social reality, values, customs and ideologies, whilst worldviews are constructed from a subjective discourse, given that the investigator assigns a specific meaning and a particular significance to the experience of others. In qualitative studies there are different techniques that help us approach social phenomena, among these, the in-depth interview plays an important role as it is founded on repeated, face-to-face meetings between the researcher and interviewees with the goal of getting deeper into their personal intimacy and thus understanding each individual. This text will describe the main features of in-depth interviews as a key form of deepening social subjectivity within the anthropological field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
