Optically stimulated luminescence dating using quartz
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals from quartz can be used to determine when
sedimentary archives were deposited. OSL dating uses the accumulation of energy stored in …

[HTML][HTML] Massive cranium from Harbin in northeastern China establishes a new Middle Pleistocene human lineage
It has recently become clear that several human lineages coexisted with Homo sapiens
during the late Middle and Late Pleistocene. Here, we report an archaic human fossil that …

Climate shifts orchestrated hominin interbreeding events across Eurasia
When, where, and how often hominin interbreeding happened is largely unknown. We study
the potential for Neanderthal-Denisovan admixture using species distribution models that …

Evolution of homo in the middle and late Pleistocene
K Harvati, H Reyes-Centeno - Journal of Human Evolution, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract The Middle and Late Pleistocene is arguably the most interesting period in human
evolution. This broad period witnessed the evolution of our own lineage, as well as that of …
