"Marean figured the early people, probably women, had to trudge two to
three miles to where the mussels, clams and snails were harvested and
to bring them back to the cave."

I like Marc. Nothing changes his views.

What I got out of this is that a decent food source helps in bringing out "human" behavior and
people lacking such a source may not bother with some of this or we haven't found it.

Can they actually tell if that early He skull of small size is female or where they just
thinking small = female in the photo shot showing big skull on the bottom older smaller skull
on the top. I go for option two.

I suspect local adpations with tiny people and giants being something that should be expected
especially early when tech is not able to buffer the populations as much from local
conditions.

Why should it be different from other
mammalian and primate species? They
usually only vary significantly when
populations become isolated on islands,
where restraints imposed by predation
(favouring large size or small size) are
very different.
