Though there is no doubt variation in schedule, Sahlins seemed very  
comfortable positing a "paleolithic rhythm" of infrequent but intense  
work.

Also, I found the following comment from a study by Yamuauchi on Baka  
hunter gatherers surprising: "...energy intake and energy expenditure  
[avg. 1666 calories per day] are both low in Baka hunter- 
gatherers...."    To go back to your point about seasonal variation,  
however, the author did say: "Due to the limited sample size and  
survey duration [rainy season only], it is not possible to conclude  
that the results of this study present the average throughout the  
annual cycle."
