The Origin Of The Feces

Product Information

KATHLEEN DAVIS: So I would assume that to be fossilized these coprolites would have to be pretty old. I mean, how much detail is actually retained inside of them?

CHRISTINA WARINNER: So that is the focus of a study that we’re still doing. I mean, we found some basic information. So, for example, from the human feces, we’re able to reconstruct aspects of information about those individuals. We could tell if they were male or female. We could reconstruct their ancestry profile and show that it matched the region of the world that they came from. Panda H, Andrews CN. Constipation in a 40-year-old woman. CMAJ. 2016;188(4):277-278. doi:10.1503/cmaj.150761 In the Middle East, cow dung is consumed for a variety of reasons, such as curing dysentery, a belief of healing properties or as a food staple. [ citation needed] Terminology Cyclosia papilionaris consuming bird droppings And so many of those visual cues you might use to identify dog feces just aren’t present in the archaeological record. Because they co-occur, and because dogs are often fed by humans. So they ate the same food. And so microscopically, they contain the same food material. They can be really hard to distinguish. In India, cow dung and cow urine are major ingredients of the traditional Hindu drink Panchagavya. Politician Shankarbhai Vegad stated that they can cure cancer. [28]

So part of what we were trying to do was to look for human feces from different points in time and try to understand how it had changed in response to different new human social behaviors. What we found along the way was also all the dog poop mixed in. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface.

CHRISTINA WARINNER: Yeah, so coprolites are fantastic in terms of the range of information you can get from them, but they’re rare. So we can only really access particular places and times in the past. What’s really exciting about looking at calcified dental plaque, or calculus, is that nearly every skeleton has it. And so this really opens up the entire archaeological record for us to investigate the past. a b c Diem, K.; Lentner, C. (1970). "Faeces". in: Scientific Tables (Seventhed.).
