Directional and fluctuating asymmetries in perinates: An exploratory study on past populations

Abstract: Les asymétries directionnelles (expression préférentielle d'un caractère d'un côté plutôt que de l'autre) et les asymétries fluctuantes (écarts mineurs, aléatoires et indépendants par rapport à la symétrie bilatérale) font l'objet d'un nombre croissant d'analyses dans des corpus actuels de sujets décédés en période périnatale, du fait de leurs implications respectives dans les questions de latéralisation préférentielle et de stabilité du développement. Ces axes de recherche sont toutefois rarement investis dan… Show more

“…However, no significant delayed DFE ossification with respect to age was observed in the extant sample between the group of individuals who died before 2 postpartum months and the group of those who survived, neither between the group with diverse severe developmental anomalies nor those with normal health status. Thus, the observation in the extant sample does not support the hypothesis that delayed epiphysis maturation in the knee is a sufficiently sensitive indicator to be used as a nonspecific morbidity indicator for this age group in past populations, unlike other osteological markers such as the supernumerary cervical rib (Partiot, 2018; Partiot et al, 2020) or fluctuating asymmetries (Partiot et al, 2021).…”
