Allen's and Bergmann's rules are perfect examples of natural selection's effects on anatomical adaptations to environments in mammals. These include the limb and trunk proportions of Neandertals. cranial capacity of modern human populations. quadrupedal nature of most mammals. larger nasal apertures of archaic humans.
