Figure 1.

A. The map shows the Weichselian advance of the Last Glacial Maximum (circa 22k BP, from Wikipedia, Creative Commons, commons.wikimediaorg/wiki/File:Weichsel-Würm-Glaciation.png). Shown are sites (stars) where Venuses were found (38k-22k). Close to the glacier are the clusters of Venuses including Northern Europe and Russia (blue stars) and southern Europe (Italy, France and Spain) (red stars). B. Waist to shoulder ratio in figurines during the ice age (<22k BP; red symbols) and after the glacial era (21–14k BP; blue symbols). Relative areas to the glaciers are illustrated with solid (close) or clear (distant) to the glaciers. C. Waist to hip ratio in figurines during the ice age (<22k BP; red symbols) and after the glacial era (21–14k BP; blue symbols). Relative areas to the glaciers are depicted with solid (close) or clear (distant) to the glaciers. Data presented is the average ratio of all images analyzed for each figurine. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
