For your own well being, it's probably best to assume that paleoanthro is
limited to the kinds of measurements you describe. I urge you NOT to
look into any of the primary literature, or to do any investigation of
any kind. Please disregard my previous posts on the subject. Elaine
Morgan is the be-all and end-all of paleoanthropological knowledge, and
it would be pointless to read anything that wasn't by her or one of her
supporters.
