The Balance Between Burden Carrying, Variable Terrain, and Thermoregulatory Pressures in Assessing Morphological Variation

摘要: A series of studies have lately shown specific morphological correlations with energetic savings during locomotor tasks, including burden carrying and walking up inclines. These appear significant make sense given the interactions between variation behavior in many populations. For example, a wider pelvis for one’s mass has been to save people energy while both front back burdens. Ethnographic reports suggest that females, who maintain their any group, carry much higher proportion burdens than males—some even suggested is “women’s work.” Simultaneously, shorter tibia correlated efficiency inclines, longer increase speed along flat terrain. All these traits also be climatic variables, particularly temperature, such morphology may result from some interaction selection pressures thermoregulatory mobility adaptations. Here I review work on effects pelvic width limb proportions context across variable terrain balancing pressures.
