This session brings together scientists interested in the physical anthropology of populations from the Yucatan Peninsula. Most presentations, whether in skeletal or in living populations, address the relationship between living conditions and health. Studies in skeletal populations tell us the story of how well local populations adapted in pre-Columbian times. The studies with living populations speak of the ontogenetic effect of modern nutritional environments and their impact in future generations.
