“…Catch‐up growth, the phenomenon that growth will resume normally once factors stunting growth are removed, is another example of canalization (Desmond & Casale, 2017; Hansen et al, 1971; Prader et al, 1963; Tanner, 1963). Catch‐up growth is well documented (e.g., Desmond & Casale, 2017; Lampl et al, 1978; Prader et al, 1963; Wall, 1991), although a delay in size attainment can still be expected because the nutritional demand for normal growth to resume is much greater than at a baseline (Hansen et al, 1971). In skeletal age estimation, canalization manifests as a decrease in accuracy as age increases for dental age estimation (AlQahtani et al, 2014; Santana et al, 2017) and age estimation from long bone diaphyseal length (Cardoso et al, 2014; Stull et al, 2014; Stull et al, 2021), as well as the overall broad similarity in the timing of epiphyseal union across different populations (Cardoso, 2008; Crowder & Austin, 2005; Lenover & Šešelj, 2019).…”

The discipline of forensic anthropology has been critiqued for its lack of a theoretical basis. In response, practitioners often assert that their analyses are implicitly grounded in evolutionary theory. However, the nature of this theoretical grounding is little discussed in the forensic anthropology literature, beyond, for example, statements indicating that sex‐based pelvic differences have evolved in response to increasing encephalization within the genus Homo, or that clinal variation in features like limb proportions have evolved within our species due to environmental pressures that differ on a gradient. Further, while the role of natural selection in shaping the morphologies analyzed in biological profile estimation is undeniable, adaptation in response to environmental pressures does not explain all variation within our species. Evolutionary theory is not monolithic; different perspectives on the primacy of functional adaptation versus factors like drift and phenotypic plasticity lead to differences in skeletal interpretations and lead researchers to novel approaches in creating new or improving current methodologies. Various theoretical perspectives underpin forensic anthropological analyses, and in order for forensic anthropology to be truly grounded in evolutionary theory, these theoretical perspectives must be not only made explicit but also interrogated in terms of how they inform forensic anthropological interpretations.

“…As far as children and juvenile individuals are concerned, growth processes correlate physiological age with chronological age fairly well [55]. While it is widely accepted that nutritional stress or disease can affect the growth process [56], once factors stunting growth are removed, growth typically resumes normally [57]. Given that contemporary U.S. populations are unlikely to be considered as nutritionally stressed for long periods, it is no surprise that all children and adolescent decedents in our sample were aged accurately.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy rates and trends in forensic anthropology casework concerning the estimation of the biological profile (sex, age, ancestry, and stature). Identified cases from the Forensic Anthropology Database for Assessing Methods Accuracy (FADAMA; n = 359) were analyzed to explore the following: accuracy rates per biological profile component, case-level performance in assessing the biological profile, and factors related to inaccuracy rates. Accuracy Highlights• This study includes a comprehensive analysis of decedent demographic trends, as well as biological profile estimation accuracy.

“…Their ages ranged from 5.2 to 13.2 years . This age group was selected because of the relative uniformity of normal body composition with minimal sex differences when expressed as a percentage of body weight (7), and the greater potential for nutritional recovery in malnourished patients when compared with older age groups (6,8). Children with CF who were selected for the study pre sented as poorly nourished patient s despite conventional management.…”

Summary:Changes in body composition and muscle protein degradation were studied in seven nutritionally growth‐retarded children with cystic fibrosis (CF) before and after nutritional supplementation and in eight healthy children who served as controls. Supplemental feedings consisted of a peptide formula that increased dietary protein and energy intakes approximately 20‐40% over a 6‐month period, delivered either as oral supplement or overnight intragastric feeding. Body composition was assessed by anthropometric data and measurements of whole body potassium (40K) and creatinine excretion. Muscle protein degradation was measured by urinary 3‐methyl‐histidine excretion, an index of myofibrillar protein catabolism. Compared with controls, CF children had significantly reduced body mass, body fat, and muscle mass, and a significantly increased rate of myofibrillar protein degradation. With nutritional supplementation, significant catch‐up weight gain and improved linear growth were observed with evidence of accretion of lean body mass and muscle mass, and in all but one severely malnourished patient with progressive disease, there was normalization of the high rate of muscle protein degradation. Thus, this form of nutritional therapy has significant benefits in terms of body protein accretion and myofibrillar protein degradation.
