Summary

Description
English: Possible endurance running adaptations in human - Arguments for the endurance running hypothesis

Behance page

Notes:

  • The diagram demonstrates the arguments proposed in the endurance running hypothesis (ER), that endurance running may have influenced human evolution, caused numerous adaptations in human morphology, anatomy and physiology.
  • This diagram is a plain description of the hypothesis and does not provide any support nor criticism to the arguments.
  • It must be noted that the points listed are not facts, but hypothetical claims that require further scientific investigations to verify their accuracy, falsifiability, and relevance to human evolution.
  • The possible adaptations are grouped into color codes (according to reference 1): red = energetics, purple = skeletal strength, green/orange = stabilization (head/body), light blue = thermoregulation, medium blue = respiration.
  • See File:Human_Aquatic_Adaptations.png for a similar summary of the aquatic ape hypothesis (AAH).
