Ancestral Stress

Known as one of the evils of our time, stress is not unique to this century or the previous one. Long before the era of chaotic traffic, and even the Industrial Revolution, the Inca civilization, which lived between 550 and 1532, already suffered from this problem. The conclusion comes from a team of archaeologists from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, who analyzed hair samples from the remains of ten individuals from five different archaeological sites in the Peru. The researchers found cortisol – the hormone responsible for stress – at levels higher than those seen in people who had undergone recent clinical studies. “Cortisol was highest in those who, after reaching such levels, died. These individuals may have developed a disease that took some time to kill them and that may have been the cause of the stress,” says archaeologist Emily Webb, who conducted the research.
