Ultra-endurance athletic performance suggests that energetics drive human morphological thermal adaptation

Both extinct and extant hominin populations display morphological features consistent with Bergmann's and Allen's Rules. However, the functional implications of the morphologies described by these ecological laws are poorly understood. We examined this through the lens of endurance running...
