• Neanderthals Revisited: New Approaches and Perspectives (2006, background): “Relationships to encephalization or pneumatization have been proposed, but our data, the previously outlined evidence (Biegert, 1957), and recent studies on Middle Pleistocene body size variation (Ruff, 2002), do not exclude an effect of body and facial size on this basicranial pattern of variation.”
• Body Size, Body Shape, and the Circumscription of the Genus Homo (2012, background): “While Neanderthals are known for their wide bi-iliac breadths (Churchill 1998; Holliday 1997; Ruff 2002; Steegmann, Cerny, and Holliday 2002), among the large Neanderthals included in the plot, La Chapelle-aux-Saints 1 falls within the H. sapiens’s scatter and in fact falls below the H. sapiens RMA…”
• The Evolution of Culturally-Variable Sex Differences: Men and Women Are Not Always Different, but When They Are…It Appears Not to Result from Patriarchy or Sex Role Socialization (2015, background): “Height Sex differences in height have been documented such that men are taller than women across all cultures (Gaulin and Boster 1985; Lippa 2009), a difference that likely has been consistent since 150,000 years ago or even earlier (Ruff 2002).”
• Relative Size versus Controlling for Size (2005, background): “…arguments that this is unlikely because of the overlap between males and females in brain size overlook the fact that sex differences in lateralization may have evolved during a phase of human evolution when sexual dimorphism was greater than it is today (Kappelman 1996, McHenry 1992, Ruff 2002).”
• Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, unknown): “4B and F; Coon et al. 1950, Schreider 1950, Newman 1953, Roberts 1953, 1978, Bindon and Baker 1997, Ruff 1994, 2002).”
