Historically, craniofacial genetic research has understandably focused on identifying the
causes of craniofacial anomalies and it has only been within the last 10 years, that there has …

Variations in the form of the human face, which plays a role in our individual identities and
societal interactions, have fascinated scientists and artists alike. Here, we review our current …

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of aerosol dispersion in
disease transmission in indoor environments. The present study experimentally investigates …

Approximately 15 genes have been directly associated with skin pigmentation variation in
humans, leading to its characterization as a relatively simple trait. However, by assembling a …

Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry
mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan …

In the present work, we propose and demonstrate a simple experimental visualization to
simulate sneezing by maintaining dynamic similarity to actual sneezing. A pulsed jet with …

Facial morphology—a conspicuous feature of human appearance—is highly heritable.
Previous studies on the genetic basis of facial morphology were performed mainly in …

Skin pigmentation is a classic example of a polygenic trait that has experienced directional
selection in humans. Genome-wide association studies have identified well over a hundred …

Without the ability to control or randomize environments (or genotypes), it is difficult to
determine the degree to which observed phenotypic differences between two groups of …

Worldwide variation in human stature and limb proportions is widely accepted to reflect
thermal adaptation, but the contribution of population history to this variation is unknown …
