Pig domestication and human-mediated dispersal in western Eurasia revealed through ancient DNA and geometric morphometrics.

Abstract Zooarcheological evidence suggests that pigs were domesticated in Southwest Asia ~8,500 BC. They then spread across the Middle and Near East and westward into Europe alongside early agriculturalists. European…

Asthma and atopy in children born by caesarean section: effect modification by family history of allergies – a population based cross-sectional study.

Abstract Studies on the association of birth by caesarean section (C/S) and allergies have produced conflicting findings. Furthermore, evidence on whether this association may differ in those at risk of…
