“…The bipedality hypothesis put forth by Wheeler (1984) argued that the reduction of body hair was made possible by the lower direct solar radiation fluxes incident upon a bipedal mammal, which also explains the absence of this characteristic among savannah quadrupeds. During the last two decades, Wheeler has published a series of papers on the thermoregulatory advantages of hominid bipedalism combined with a naked skin and a larger body size (Wheeler, 1985(Wheeler, , 1990(Wheeler, , 1991a(Wheeler, ,b, 1992a(Wheeler, ,b, 1993(Wheeler, , 1994(Wheeler, , 1996.…”

“…The African apes exhibit a ratio of approximately 40% apocrine sweat glands to 60% eccrine; the great preponderance of eccrine sweat glands in modern humans probably evolved under the strong influence of natural selection, following the loss of the apocrine component to sweating (Folk & Semken 1991, Montagna 1981, Zihlman & Cohn 1988. This process was probably propelled by increases in body size and activity levels associated with modern limb proportions and striding bipedalism, which occurred in the transition from the primitive hominins of the late Miocene to the genus Homo of the Plio-Pleistocene (Chaplin et al 1994;Folk & Semken 1991;Jablonski & Chaplin 2000;Montagna 1981;Schwartz & Rosenblum 1981;Wheeler 1984Wheeler , 1996.…”

“…One line of reasoning posits that thermoregulation may have been important in the evolutionary development of both of these traits. Highly supportive of such discussions has been a series of papers by Wheeler that used simple heat-balance models to quantify the potential effects of such adaptations (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Recently, we presented a revised version of Wheeler's model to explore thermoregulatory aspects of putative endurance running in extinct hominids (11).…”
