Iqembu lososayensi elimele i-University of Cambridge, ngemuva kokutholwa e-UK yathola ukulimala emathanjeni abasebenzi abaphakathi. Ukulimala kanye nama-fractures ahlangana kakhulu phakathi kwezingcweti, uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izingqimba zabantu, eziqinisekisa ukungalingani emphakathini.
Ngokokutadisha eshicilelwe e-American Journal of Global Anthropology, kwaqhutshwa imisebenzi ye-cambridge ezindaweni ezintathu ezahlukene: endaweni yamathuna eduze kwesibhedlela saseJohn The Bogoslov, lapho kwangcwatshwa khona; Amathuna ezindela auggwin e-Augustinia ethubeni lezakhamizi ezicebile kanye nabamele abefundisi; Amathuna esonto lendawo lapho kwakungcwatshwa khona abasebenzi.
Ama-skeletons angama-314 ahlonziwe ajabule emakhulwini eminyaka angu-10-14. Ngalesi sikhathi, iCambridge kwakuyidolobha lesifundazwe lapho kwakuhlala khona ama-Artisans, abathengisi kanye nabasebenzi. Ukusetshenziswa kokuhlaziywa kwe-X-ray kwenze ukuthi kutholakale ukuthi ama-fractures anamaphesenti angama-44 abasebenzi ngokungafani nama-32% eziguli ezinothile ezingelaphekayo nabampofu. Ngokusho kososayensi, abantu bangcwaba emathuneni abasebenzi, isikhathi eside babandakanyeka emisebenzini ekhuthele kusukela eminyakeni eyi-12. Ezisebenzini ezijwayelekile kube nengozi enkulu yokulimala uma kuqhathaniswa nezindela noma iziguli ezibhedlela, uJenna Dittmar, omele ubuhlakani beyunivesithi yasenyuvesi.
Ukulimala okutholakele ngenxa yodlame lomzimba kukhonjwe ku-4% wezidumbu. Ngakho-ke, ngemuva kokutadisha umthambo wowesifazane osekhulile ovela emathuneni ePherishi, ososayensi bathola ukuthi uthole ubunzima obuphindaphindayo zemihlathi, izimbambo, i-vertebrae nezinyawo ngesikhathi sokuphila kwakhe. Ekufeni, lokhu kulimala kwaphulukiswa, okungasho ukuthi ukulimala okutholwe ngesikhathi sokuphila kukhona izimpawu zodlame lwasekhaya.
Ochwepheshe beCambridge bathola umonakalo omkhulu kunabo bonke abavela kwesinye sezindela - amathambo wesifazane ongqongqoshe aphukile, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuphahlazeka ngenqola. Ukulimala okunjalo manje sekutholakala kulabo abahlupheka ngenxa yengozi. UDkt Dittmar waphetha ngokuthi ukulimala okungathi sína kwakuyisici sabo bonke abamele abamele umphakathi.
