Biorythms in Homo sapiens from Paleolithic to modern times

Biorhythms are present in all organic life and probably evolve very slowly. The suggestion is made in this paper that there has probably not been much change in the biorhythms of Paleolithic Man and modern peoples. Therefore, through an understanding of the biorhythms of modern peoples, we can extrapolate that similar patterns would have been present in earlier members of Homo sapiens. This provides us with new possibilities in reconstructing the behavioral patterns of our near ancestors. In addition, the biological similarity between Paleolithic peoples and modern peoples would lead us to search for some of the causes of modern illnesses in disrupted biorhythmical patterns that have come about relatively recently in our evolutionary history, because of overwhelmingly large changes in our everyday environment.
