“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”

“Data about the DEE and the BMR are available for present-day humans, but also for the fossil register where the fairly large amount of data provides average indicative values for AMHs and Neanderthals in different climatic environments (Aiello and Key 2002;Churchill 2006Churchill , 2009; see Table 3).”

“And we choose a male Neanderthal in a cold climate because, based on the data provided by Churchill (2006Churchill ( , 2009)), this case shows the biggest daily energy expenditure.This means that it is the case where the part of the daily energy expenditure allocated to the displacement can be the largest.”

“Adaptive explanations for an enlarged midface and large brows have focused either on enlargement of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses emphasizing respiratory/energetic demands 56 and climatic adaptation 57,58 , or on mechanical adaptations to diet, paramasticatory activity 59,60 , or increase in body size [61][62][63][64]”

“Following Verpoorte [49], MacDonald et al.

“Instead, Churchill (2006) believes that given the high metabolic heat output and cultural buffering that was probably available to Neanderthals, the capacious chests of Neanderthals probably contributed comparatively little to their heat conservation.”

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.
