Human body size shaped by climate, evolutionary study shows

These human fossils illustrate variation in brain (skulls) and body size (thigh bones) relating to age and environmental factors. Skulls from left: Neanderthal (55,000 years old), discovered in Israel; Homo sapiens (32,000 years), France; Middle Pleistocene Homo, (430,000 years), Spain. Photograph: Dr Manuel Will
