Why temperature affects heart rate in ectothermic organisms? If the temperature is within the optimal range for enzyme activity more ATP will be produced and the heart will beat faster due to increased metabolic activity and energy availability.
I've read the story back a couple months ago
Actually, there are many archeologists and anthropologists disagree with dr. Thorne's view. Basically, Thorne strongly believes that what many calls Homo erectus was, in fact, Homo sapiens, and that they migrated out of Africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout Europe and Asia. That would actually be very different from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species. That is why many of them are against him)
