Cold exposure is present to significant amounts in the everyday occupational and leisure
time activities of circumpolar residents. A cross‐sectional population study demonstrated …

Human habitation and adaptation to extreme environments have a deep history in
anthropological research. Anthropologists' understanding of these ecological pressures and …

Thin on the Ground: Neandertal Biology, Archeology and Ecology synthesizes the current
knowledge about our sister species the Neandertals, combining data from a variety of …

This article examines evidence for elevations in basal metabolic rate (BMR) among
indigenous Northern (circumpolar) populations and considers potential mechanisms and the …

Previous research has suggested that arctic populations have elevated metabolic rates in
response to their cold, marginal climate. Recent studies of indigenous Siberian groups have …

The Arctic regions are inhabited by diverse populations, both indigenous and non-
indigenous. Health Transitions in Arctic Populations describes and explains changing health …

A large body of work focuses on the unique aspects of Neanderthal anatomy, inferred
physiology, and behavior to test the assumption that Neanderthals were hyper‐adapted to …

The study of adaptation in Neanderthals is confounded by equifinality–the existence of
multiple adaptive pathways to the same morphological end state–manifest as an inability to …

In the 19th century, two “ecogeographical rules” were proposed hypothesizing associations
of climate with mammalian body size and proportions. Data on human body weight and …
