Hi! I am not at all educated in anthropology, but I find it very fascinating! I was wondering if we know how well upper paleolithic humans such as the ones living in the time of the aurignacian technocomplex or gravettian would do if they competed in a sports competition today. Stuff like a marathon or ultra, or would they be better at track and field. If anyone has any information or knows any literature on the subject please share!

Hi, I figured I would find better info on this topic here. I see a lot of estimates on height for different populations in this time period, but never weight. And the ones that do give estimates are either surprisingly low or high. Like 60kg or 100kg, wouldn’t they be something in between? I know a lot of people romanticise this topic and claim man where much larger and stronger then people today. If anyone has any info on this topic please share!
To be more specific I was looking for info on upper paleolithic Europeans or west Asians.
