Paleolithic Diet and the Division of Labor in Mediterranean Eurasia
2009Hunter-gatherers of the recent era vary in many aspects of culture, yet they display great uniformity in their tendency to divide labor along the lines of gender and age. We argue on the basis of zooarchaeological, technological, and demographic evidence that the complementary economic roles of men and women so typical of ethnographically docu- mented ...

Nutritional ecology and diachronic trends in Paleolithic diet and health
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2003AbstractModern nutritional studies have found that diverse diets are linked to lower infant mortality rates and longer life expectancies in humans.

Quaternary International, 2012Models of Neanderthal energetics and energy requirements suggest they required an average daily caloric intake well above the average for anatomically modern human foragers. The reasons stated for this include higher basic metabolic rates, less efficiency at thermoregulation, less efficiency at hunting, greater degrees of mobility, and reduced sexual ...
