Sicilianews24.it: Conferme dai sapere indigeni: scomparsa dei grandi uccelli osservata anche dalla scienza

La Perdita delle Grandi Popolazioni di Uccelli
Molti popoli indigeni e comunità locali vivono in profondo contatto con la natura, imparando sin da piccoli a identificare la fauna che li circonda. Una nuova ricerca pubblicata nell’International Journal of Conservation si basa su questo sapere per esaminare un fenomeno scientificamente documentato: la diminuzione delle popolazioni di grandi uccelli.
Álvaro Fernández-Llamazares, etnobotanico dell’Università Autonoma di Barcellona, e autore principale dello studio, ha notato per la prima volta questa tendenza durante il suo lavoro di ricerca nella comunità indigena Tsimane’ nella foresta pluviale boliviana.

Confirmations from indigenous knowledge: disappearance of large birds observed also by science

The Loss of Large Bird Populations
Many indigenous peoples and local communities live in deep connection with nature, learning from a young age to identify the fauna that surrounds them. A new study published in the International Journal of Conservation is based on this knowledge to examine a scientifically documented phenomenon: the decline of large bird populations.
Álvaro Fernández-Llamazares, an ethnobotanist from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and lead author of the study, first noticed this trend during his research work with the Tsimane’ indigenous community in the Bolivian rainforest.

Super interesting paper modelling #Tsimane women's networks and the interactive effects of their reproductive fitness on increased cooperation

'we demonstrate that density- and frequency-dependent indirect genetic effects on fitness promote the evolution of cooperation among neighboring women, increasing the rate of contemporary adaptation by ~5×. Our results show how interactions between the genetic and socioecological processes shaping cooperation in reproduction can drive rapid growth and social evolution in human populations.'

Does our heart and circulatory #health necessarily decline with age? Not if we live like the #Tsimane

'Horus Group scientists who had found heart disease in mummies would join with the Tsimane Project and analyse CT scans of the hearts of the Tsimane, an Indigenous tribe of about 17,000 people living in the lowland Bolivian jungle. They would find almost no heart disease. What’s more, continuing research with the Tsimane shows rates of dementia among the lowest ever observed, and they have only minimal cognitive impairment with ageing.'
