Inestabilidad del desarrollo en estructuras craneofaciales de poblaciones humanas sudamericanas/Developmental instability of craniofacial structures of Southamerican human populations
Resumen
RESUMEN Diversos factores genéticos y ambientales pueden actuar sobre los mecanismos que amortiguan el efecto de perturbaciones aleatorias durante el desarrollo, resultando en un aumento de la inestabilidad del desarrollo (ID) y de la variación a nivel individual. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el grado y el patrón de asimetría fluctuante (AF) en el cráneo, como una medida de ID, en poblaciones con distinto tipo de subsistencia. Asimismo, se evalúa la existencia de diferencias entre la base, la bóveda y el esqueleto facial. Se relevaron landmarks tridimensionales sagitales y bilaterales en 109 cráneos de Chubut, San Juan y SO de Pampa. El método de Superposición Procrustes Generalizado fue usado para extraer los componentes simétrico y asimétrico de la forma. Los análisis preliminares indicaron que el error de medición y la asimetría direccional dan cuenta de un porcentaje reducido de la variación total, mientras que la AF explica entre el 10 y el 15% de la misma. La magnitud de AF –estimada como la distancia Procrustes entre las configuraciones originales y sus imágenes reflejadas– de la bóveda y la región facial resultó mayor en San Juan, mientras que la base no presentó diferencias entre las muestras. Los patrones de forma del componente asimétrico indican que la muestra de Chubut se diferencia en la base y la cara, mientras que la de San Juan se diferencia en la bóveda. En resumen, los resultados obtenidos sugieren variación modular en la ID del cráneo y diferencias entre las muestras analizadas.
PALABRAS CLAVE asimetría fluctuante; morfometría geométrica; inestabilidad del desarrollo; subsistencia
ABSTRACT Regulatory mechanisms acting on the effect of stochastic perturbations during development can be modulated by diverse environmental and genetic factors, resulting in increased developmental instability (DI) and individual variation. It has been suggested that subsistence-related ecological changes could have significantly influenced craniofacial morphology of South American aboriginal populations. In this paper, the magnitude and pattern of fluctuating asymmetry, used as a DI measure, are compared among the samples with different subsistence strategies and among 3 craniofacial modules. Midline and bilateral 3D landmarks were recorded in 109 skulls from Chubut, San Juan and SW of the Pampean region. The Generalized Procrustes Superimposition method was used to extract the symmetric and asymmetric components of shape. Preliminary analyses show that measurement error and directional asymmetry account for a reduced amount of total variation, while FA explains 10 to 15% of it. FA magnitude –estimated as the Procrustes distances between the original configurations and their reflections– found in the vault and facial region was higher for San Juan sample, while the cranial base did not show any differences among samples. Shape patterns in the asymmetric component show that Chubut sample is different from the others as regards cranial base and facial configurations, while San Juan is different in relation to vault. Results suggest modular variation in skull DI and differences among the analyzed samples.
