The dispersal of early humans from Africa by 1.75 Myr ago led to a marked expansion of

We provide a critical review of the evidence for the long-term use of marine resources and
coastal environments in human evolution and later development. We emphasise the …

Large-scale fluctuations in global climate and resulting changes in ecology had a profound
effect on human evolution and dispersal. Though hominin remains are scarce, studies …

We propose a population model for Middle Pleistocene Europe that is based on
demographic “sources” and “sinks”. The former were a small number of “core” or populations …

The past decade has seen the Pliocene and Pleistocene fossil hominin record enriched by
