Abstract Reconstructing patterns of Plio-Pleistocene mammalian faunal exchange between
eastern and southern Africa may help us to better understand patterns of evolution within the …

Past ecological responses of mammals to climate change are recognized in the fossil record
by adaptive significance of morphological variations. To understand the role of dietary …

The population history of anatomically modern humans (AMH) in Southeast Asia (SEA) is a
highly debated topic. The impact of sea level variations related to the Last Glacial Maximum …

Biotic interactions between Africa and Eurasia across the Levant have invoked particular
attention among scientists aiming to unravel early human dispersals. However, it remains …

The feeding ecology of sympatric great ape species yields valuable information for
palaeodietary reconstructions in sympatric early hominin species. However, no isotopic …

We synthesize African paleoclimate from 150 to 30 ka (thousand years ago) using 85
diverse datasets at a regional scale, testing for coherence with North Atlantic …

The patterns of inter‐and intra‐regional variation among 12 major geographical groups from
around the world were investigated based on 15 nonmetric dental traits. The R‐matrix …

Abstract Though late Middle Pleistocene in age, Homo naledi is characterized by a mosaic
of Australopithecus-like (eg, curved fingers, small brains) and Homo-like (eg, elongated …

Knowing how the diversity of large mammal communities changes across space and time
provides an important ecological framework for studying hominin evolution. However …

Diet is key to understanding the paleoecology of early hominins. We know little about the
diets of these fossil taxa, however, in part because of a limited fossil record, and in part …
