In 1998, paleoanthropologist Rick Potts, of the Smithsonian Institution, published an article in The Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, a peer-reviewed journal. The article was titled “Environmental Hypotheses of Hominin Evolution.” In his paper, Potts provided evidence to support his claim that great variations in environmental conditions over time were responsible for the adaptability of humans and the success of our species. Why might this not be the best article to reference? Potts has no authority. Potts was not objective. The article may not reflect current knowledge. The article was not reviewed by Potts’s peers.
