Article Synopsis
- Nutritional changes driven by globalization and malnutrition are affecting global diets, but large countries like Argentina may resist homogenization due to their diverse ecosystems and regional diets.
- This study collected and analyzed teeth from 119 donors across Argentina from 1940 to 2010 to understand dietary patterns through stable isotopes.
- Results indicate that while there are regional and temporal variations in dietary isotopes, the Argentine population is increasingly moving towards a supermarket diet, indicating a shift in traditional eating habits.
As a consequence of the recent history of Argentina related to crimes against humanity, the country has positioned itself as a leader on Forensic Anthropology in human rights contexts. To some extent it can even be argued that Forensic Genetics for human identification had its origins in human rights work in the early 1980s in Argentina. However, there are still hundreds of unidentified human remains recovered from the dictatorial regimes' crimes.
