- Bioenergetic perspectives on Neanderthal thermoregulatory and activity budgets (2006, background): “…of Neanderthal adaptation are increasingly adopting a bioenergetic perspective (Jelinek, 1994; Sorensen and Leonard, 2001; Steegmann et al., 2002; Aiello and Wheeler, 2003; Weaver and Steudel-Numbers, 2005), as are studies of adaptive evolution in the genus Homo generally (Leonard and Robertson,…”
- Energetic Competition Between Neandertals and Anatomically Modern Humans (2009, background): “Morphological indicators suggest the Neandertals were heavily muscled, which may have provided them with both a greater thermogenic capacity and greater insulation against the cold (Aiello and Wheeler 2003; Churchill 2006; Steegmann et al. 2002), and which was part of a close-range, confrontational ”
- The ecology and adaptation of Neanderthals during the non-analogue environment of Oxygen Isotope Stage 3 (2005, methodology): “The comparative exercise above would therefore cause one to question the validity of the climate model output comparisons to mammalian taxa, without any reference to modern climate associations e.g. Aiello and Wheeler (2003).”
- Aspects of human physical and behavioural evolution during the last 1 million years (2019, background): “According to Aiello and Wheeler (2003), however, the Neanderthal morphology was not significantly better adapted to colder climates than H. sapiens, and they would have therefore required significant cultural buffering (fire, clothing, shelter) and greater metabolic heat production to survive the…”
- The Prehistoric Development of Clothing: Archaeological Implications of a Thermal Model (2010, background): “This has resulted in overestimates of the extent of winter cooling—the Stage 3 Project, for example, concluded that Neanderthals must have been capable of surviving extreme winter minimums, and so their survival would not have been threatened thermally by the severe oscillations in late MIS 3 (Aiell”
