Early evidence for cancer in Sudan: an advanced example of bone metastases from ancient Nubia (circa 2500–2050 BCE)
WHO reports that cancer is currently a leading cause of death worldwide. An increasing body of bioarchaeological research offers new insights into the past prevalence, epidemiology, and evolution of cancer. An archaeological example from the Northern Dongola Reach in Upper Nubia, Sudan, is presented in this Perspectives piece.Whiting, Rebecca ; Phillips, Emma L. W. ; O'Flynn, Daniel ; Antoine, Daniel

Desert dust and city smoke: investigating the impact of urbanisation and aridification on the prevalence of pulmonary/pleural inflammation in the Middle Nile Valley (2500 BC to AD 1500)
This study investigates the impact of urbanization and aridification on prevalence rates of lower respiratory tract disease in archaeological populations from the Middle Nile Valley. Evidence for pulmonary/pleural inflammation, in the form of inflammatory periosteal reaction (IPR) on the visceral surfaces of the ribs, was recorded in humanskeletal remains (452...Davies-Barrett, Anna ; Antoine, Daniel ; Roberts, Charlotte

From hunter‐gatherers to food producers: New dental insights into the Nile Valley population history (Late Paleolithic–Neolithic)
This study presents biological affinities between the last hunter-fisher-gatherers and first food-producing societies from the Nile Valley. We investigate odontometric and dental tissue proportion changes between these populations from the Middle Nile Valley and acknowledge the biological processes behind them.Martin, Nicolas ; Thibeault, Adrien ; Varadzinová, Lenka ; Ambrose, Stanley H. ; Antoine, Daniel …
