We apply eco-cultural niche modeling (ECNM), an heuristic approach adapted from the
biodiversity sciences, to identify habitable portions of the European territory for Upper …

Archaeological records indicate that many regions in Europe remained unoccupied by
hunter-gatherers during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), probably due to the harsh climatic …

This study details an application of eco-cultural niche modeling (ECNM) using two modeling
architectures—a genetic algorithm (GARP) and maximum entropy (Maxent)—aimed at …

We apply Eco-Cultural Niche Modeling (ECNM), using the Genetic Algorithm for Rule-Set
Prediction, to reconstruct the ecological niches exploited by Middle Solutrean and Upper …

The Aurignacian technocomplex comprises a succession of culturally distinct phases.
Between its first two subdivisions, the Proto-Aurignacian and the Early Aurignacian, we see …

The Neolithic Revolution, which witnessed the transformation of hunter–gatherer groups into
farming communities, is traditionally viewed as the event that allowed human groups to …

Human populations in Western Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum were
geographically constrained to glacial refugia by the severity of the climate and ecological …

Modern humans can be described as a colonizing species expanding its range from pole to
pole in the course of the Holocene. The range shifts during the Late Pleniglacial in Europe …

The indications of human abandonment of northwestern Europe and of increased
population density in southwestern Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum (centered on …

When considering the evolution and migrations of Neandertalers and early modem human
