Cultural innovations and demographic change

PJ Richerson, R Boyd, RL Bettinger - Human biology, 2009 - BioOne
Demography plays a large role in cultural evolution through its effects on the effective rate of
innovation. If we assume that useful inventions are rare, then small isolated societies will …

Changes in the thermocline structure of the Indonesian outflow during Terminations I and II

J Xu, A Holbourn, W Kuhnt, Z Jian… - Earth and Planetary …, 2008 - Elsevier

Diachronous benthic δ18O responses during late Pleistocene terminations

LE Lisiecki, ME Raymo - Paleoceanography, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Benthic δ18O is often used as a stratigraphic tool to place marine records on a common age
model and as a proxy for the timing of ice volume/sea level change. However, Skinner and …
