    External Auditory Exostoses among western Eurasian late Middle and Late Pleistocene humans
    Erik Trinkaus cs 2019 PLOS
    doi org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220464

    EAEs have been noted among the Hn & a few other Pleistocene humans,
    but until recently they have been discussed primary as minor pathological lesions, with possible auditory consequences.
    An assessment of available W-Eurasian late Middle & Late Pleistocene human temporal bones with sufficiently preserved auditory canals (n=77) provides modest levels of EAEs among late Middle Pleistocene archaic humans (≈20 %) & early modern humans (
    Middle Paleolithic ≈25 %, Early/Mid Upper Paleolithic 20.8 %, Late Upper Paleolithic 9.5 %).
    Hn exhibit an exceptionally high level of EAE (56.5 %, 47.8 % if 2 anomalous cases are considered normal).
    EAE levels for the early Hs are well within recent human ranges of variation (low for equatorial inland & high latitude samples, occasionally higher elsewhere).
    The Early/Mid Upper Paleolithic frequency is nonetheless high for a high latitude sample under inter-pleni-glacial conditions.
    Given the strong etiological & environmental associations of EAE development with exposure to cold water and/or damp wind chill, the high frequency of Hn EAEs implies frequent aquatic resource exploitation, more frequent than the archeological & stable
    isotopic evidence for Middle Paleolithic/Neandertal littoral & freshwater resource foraging implies:
    he Hn data parallel a similar pattern evident in E-Eurasian archaic humans, yet, factors in addition to cold water/wind exposure may well have contributed to their high EAE frequencies.

    Cold weather, wintering with shelters but without warm clothing.

    Yes, and running over savannas...
