Human responses and non-responses to climatic variations during the last Glacial-Interglacial transition in the eastern Mediterranean
We review and evaluate human adaptations during the last glacial-interglacial climatic
transition in southwest Asia. Stable isotope data imply that climatic change was synchronous …

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 …

Climate and environmental reconstruction of the Epipaleolithic Mediterranean Levant (22.0–11.9 ka cal. BP)
This study presents, for the first time, an environmental reconstruction of a sequence
spanning nearly the entire Mediterranean Epipaleolithic (∼ 22.0–11.9 ka cal. BP). The study …

Minimum founding populations for the first peopling of Sahul
The timing, context and nature of the first people to enter Sahul is still poorly understood
owing to a fragmented archaeological record. However, quantifying the plausible …
