• Evolution of Cooperation among Mammalian Carnivores and Its Relevance to Hominin Evolution (2012, background): “…scenarios suggest a direct link between a transition toward eating a high-quality diet and the evolution of cooperation in hominins (e.g., Aiello and Wheeler 1995; Bramble and Lieberman 2004; O’Connell, Hawkes, and Blurton Jones 1999; O’Connell et al. 2002; Pontzer 2012; Wrangham et al. 1999).”
• Body Size, Size Variation, and Sexual Size Dimorphism in Early Homo (2012, background): “…larger or smaller female size centers on the balance between resource abundance and reliability, risks to infant and maternal mortality, and maximizing reproductive success (Gordon 2006a; Kuzawa and Bragg 2012; Leigh 1995; Lindenfors 2002; Ralls 1976; Turner, Anapol, and Jolly 1997; Wells 2012).”
• How Our Ancestors Broke through the Gray Ceiling (2012, background): “In addition, there is growing evidence for a pronounced difference in daily energy expenditure between humans and great apes (Pontzer 2012; Pontzer et al. 2010).”
• Growth, Development, and Life History throughout the Evolution of Homo (2012, background): “…different life histories, as these profiles are closely calibrated to local environment and ecologies, and the critical time interval for the evolution of Homo (3–2.0 Ma) is characterized by magnified climate variability and thus variable adaptive settings (deMenocal 1995; Potts 1996, 2012).”
