Theory and empirical data from a variety of disciplines strongly imply that recent human
history involves extensive gene-culture coevolution, much of it as a direct result of human …

Delay differential equations (DDEs) are important in many areas of engineering and
science. The aim of this book is to bring together contributions from leading experts on the …

There is a long-standing controversy between two models of the Neolithic transition. The
demic model assumes that the Neolithic range expansion was mainly due to the spread of …

The earliest dates for the West Mediterranean Neolithic indicate that it expanded across
2,500 km in about 300 y. Such a fast spread is held to be mainly due to a demic process …

The Neolithic transition is the shift from hunting–gathering into farming. About 9000 years
ago, the Neolithic transition began to spread from the Near East into Europe, until it reached …

A key issue in the debate over the initial colonization of North America is whether there are
spatial gradients in the distribution of the Clovis-age occupations across the continent. Such …

The wave-of-advance model was introduced to describe the spread of advantageous genes
in a population. It can be adapted to model the uptake of any advantageous technology …

In previous research, the SE-NW time-trend in the age of the earliest Neolithic sites across
Europe has been treated as a signal of a global-scale process that brought farming/herding …

We apply GIS techniques to analyze a carefully selected database of 93 Early Neolithic sites
in the Iberian Peninsula. This allows us to study the spatial dynamics of the Neolithic …

We derive general kinetic equations for reacting and subdiffusing entities based on a
nonlinear continuous time random walk formalism proposed by Vlad and Ross [Phys. Rev. E …
