They can stand a lot, as long as they have the sufficient energy, but are probably somewhat less flexible both with their movements as well as psychically.
So again one could speculate about selection going after group size, social relations and different competitive strategies common in a group etc. But thats all just speculative.

further gracilization is not possible without a change in the diet. as a popular and sad subject the fate of poor polar bears, because of limitation of their lebensraum by global warming, bears become smaller. locomotive ability in the presence of generous prey is an adventage. The size and strength becomes a disadventage in the times of shortage because of the necessity of high supply.
the shape identifies the plan, design. heavy bones are made for heavy work and to carry weight. for example a gorilla has a very big lower jaw to grind the available nutients and to carry that heavy jaw the cranium must be bony and strong i am not going into detail about the possible mechanism. Therefore without a diet which is somehwta similar to the neolithics i dont think that augrinacians wolud have a so weak chin that relieves the upper face free from weight of a lower face and lead to dolichocephaly by means of a diet which not so much protein rich and probably also excluded roots and any other possible gatherer style hard-to-chew nutrients. Any dolichocephal phenotype would not be tall originally.
