Variations in human subsistence and settlement patterns have been documented at
Holocene archaeological sites across Island and Mainland Southeast Asia. Although climate …

Studies of climate variation commonly rely on chemical and isotopic changes recorded in
sequentially produced growth layers, such as in corals, shells, and tree rings, as well as in …

Studying infants in the past is crucial for understanding the evolution of human life history
and the evolution of cooperation, cognition, and communication. An infant's growth, health …

Pleistocene Pongo teeth show substantial variation in size and morphology, fueling
taxonomic debates about the paleodiversity of the genus. We investigated prominent …

The close maternal-infant relationship during pregnancy and early infancy is still an under-
explored aspect of past human lives. Information about this nexus, which is driven by both …

Isotope ratio analyses of trace elements are applied to tooth enamel, ostrich eggshell, and
