Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje pitanje utjecaja prehrane na kranijalne promjene kod ljudi tijekom prijelaza s lovačko-sakupljačkog na sjedilački, odnosno poljoprivredni način života. Od svoje pojave, poljoprivreda i stočarstvo postale su najvažnije ljudske djelatnosti za dobivanje hrane, a za sobom su donijele niz inovacija koje su pomogle ljudima opstati stvaranjem trajnih naselja, zaliha hrane što je utjecalo na daljni razvoj tehnologije i civilizacije.
Pregledom relevantnih antropoloških istraživanja zaključuje se kako se konzumiranjem mekše hrane ljudska lubanja smanjila te je manje robustna, međutim postoji problem izdvajanja jednog faktora, u ovom slučaju prehrane, koji je mogao samostalno utjecati na promjene. U nedostatku istraživanja na globalnoj razini, potrebno je unaprijediti metodologiju i provesti više istraživanja kako bismo mogli bolje razumijeti koje su sve sile utjecale na kranijalne promjene.

Abstract (english)

This thesis examines the question of diet effect on cranial changes during the transition from Hunter-gatherer lifestyle to agriculture. Since the dawn of agriculture, it became number one human activity for obtaining food and it brought innovations that helped humans survive creating permanent settlements, food supplies which influenced further development of technology and civilization.
A review of relevant anthropological research concludes that by consuming softer food, the human skull has gotten smaller and is less robust, however there is a problem of singling out one factor, in this case diet, which could independently influence the changes. In the absence of research on a global scale, it is necessary to improve the methodology and conduct more research so that we can better understand what forces have influenced the cranial changes.
