    This reconstruction is obvious to anybody who knows a little bit of human anatomy & fossils:
    -brain size c 800-900 cc,
    -platycephaly (long low skull),
    -foramen magnum more dorsally,
    -mid-facial prognathism + big nose,
    -receding forehead, heavy supra-orbital torus,
    -large & esp.wide thorax,
    -broad pelvis + flaring ilia (patypelloidy),
    -rel.long & horizontal femoral necks +
    -platymeria (dorso-ventrally flattened femora),
    -tibiae a bit shorter,
    -flat feet...
    -thick subcutaneous fat layer
    -human hair distribution & sebaceous skin glands.

    The fertile women had longer head hairs, no beard & less sebaceous glands, so that the hairs floated around the head, for the baby to grasp (as proposed by Elaine.Morgan).
    After menopauze & in poor times, the women collected seafoods in the way adult men did.

    Ceterum censeo:
    only incredible imbeciles believe their ancestors ran after antelopes.
