New in @ScienceAdvances! While maize is an excellent source of carbohydrates, it contains very little lysine, an essential amino acid without which, people cannot build and maintain body tissues like muscles and bones. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Nutritional adaptations to early maize cultivation: Earliest isotopic evidence of maize-based...

Carbon amino acid isotopes suggest that maize-provisioned animals were central to Neotropical human nutrition by 6100 B.P.

tl;dr Ancient maize farmers didn’t overcome maize's nutritional limitations by eating more maize. They overcame them by foddering animals with maize and letting them do the biochemical work first.

Place-based health promotion (for Belize) inspired conversations with medical anthropology, supported by a biological anthropologist, for local engagement led by an archaeologist, using the talent of linguistic anthropologist, with the help of our local partners. #Anthropology

Are you a PhD who loves stable isotopes, hands-on lab work, teaching & mentoring? We're hiring a Research Assistant Prof to be our next colleague @NU_EARTHSCI. My students and I can't wait to work with you on lots of fun paleoclimate research! 1/2 (Please RT)
