anyone have articles on human diversity regarding propensity to store bodyfat/ remain lean

some people eat total shit and stay lean as fark and somewhat muscled even if they don't work out. Can't see where this would be an evolutionary advantage in human phylogeny

Don't have to eat chicken breasts and brown rice to look good. My diet the last 2 weeks has been primarily junk food (cupcakes, ice cream, cookies, etc)

some people are definitely naturally more prone to "fatness" ( like necrophilia) which we should suspect for everyone if humans have be pervaded by times of famine.

Perhaps so but it's probably just appetite control. With all the exercise I do I don't really need to limit how much I eat but I can limit myself no problem.

What? Why would our body have an advantage of storing a ton of fat, in case of times of famine? Metabolic derangements would be far more deleterious than the worth it could provide.

Good read. Summarizing findings in ex phys during 2013

Newer discovered myokine

"Meteorin-like Is a Hormone that Regulates Immune-Adipose Interactions to Increase Beige Fat Thermogenesis"

Plus not long ago I posted the study elucidating somewhat about Irisin, another more newly discovered myokine. Hopefully with all this exploration, something can actually come of it

iirc the differences in myokine regulation as far as b.f.t is concerned is dependant on the wat/bat ratio in the body, and so is this newfound myokine suppose to follow the same paradigm ,or can this be a doorway to explaining browning in adults? hopefully so

We can only hope!
There's been several findings on this topic of late, notably this and Irisin, but several other players too. As I said, hopefully something can actually come of it

"New insights into the role of histamine in subventricular zone-olfactory bulb neurogenesis"

http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fnins.2014.00142/full?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Neuroscience-w27-2014

This article focuses on times of inflammation, when histamine levels would be increased.. however, I wonder about the normal, typical levels of histamine, and that function in the brain. It functions as a neurotransmitter, basally, and robustly mediates wakefulness. With those things in mind, I wonder about the use of anti-histamines potentially inhibiting/attenuating neural stem cell differentiation, and thus neurogenesis. I'll have to do more digging, but it seems like a possibility. That could have clinical implications, as many people do use anti-histamines frequently, esp to help them sleep. On top of the antihistamine inhibiting neurogenesis quandary, I would also like to see possible correlations.. such as, chronic anti-histamine users and links to depression, and other sorts of neurodegenerative diseases due to impaired inherent neurogenic function. Meh, this is all surmise anyhow.
