Climate and the evolution of brachycephalization
Abstract
Significant associations of cranial shape for 82 ethnic groups and seven climate variables are described. Variation among current populations is partially attributed to cold adaptation throughout the Pleistocene. Application of data files tabulated by the authors is described for a number of problems. Temporal distribution of 115 specimens indicates a geometric trend (CI = 76.7 – 1.96 log time × 10 3). Cranial indices are summarized within alternative taxonomic models and between climatic ecotypes. Evidence supports the hypothesis of cold adaptation among “Classic” Neandertals. Limitations of the thermodynamic model are discussed. It is probable that a decrease of the cranial index occurs from the Middle to Upper Paleolithic. During the Holocene, the index increases under all climatic conditions.

Many paleoanthropological studies of Paleolithic human fossils allow estimation of body mass for more than sixty Neanderthal individuals and AMHs of both sexes.
“There have been many paleoanthropological studies of human fossils from the Paleolithic (in contexts of cold, temperate, and tropical climate phases) from which it is possible to estimate body mass of more than sixty Neanderthal individuals and AMHs of both sexes (Beals et al. 1983;Churchill 2006Churchill , 2009;;Feldesman et al. 1990;Grün et al. 2005;Henneberg et al. 1988;Kappelman 1996;Kennedy”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
