Abstract

AbstractData on porotic hyperostosis (usually from thalassemia or sicklemia) and on morphology as related to differential survival and fertility in Early Neolithic Nea Nikomedeia (N over 90) and Middle Bronze Age Lerna (N = 234) show (a) the importance of disease, mainly falciparum malaria, in determining fertility, (b) the irregular fit between prediction from fertile family groups and observed prehistoric microevolutionary change in Greece, (c) the probable effects of nutrition and disease.
