Since Darwin situated humans in an evolutionary framework, much discussion has focused
on environmental factors that may have shaped or influenced the course of human …

The aim of the atlas is to provide images of taphonomic modifications, making it as
comprehensive as possible with evidence presently available. This volume is intended both …

Aim To reconstruct the palaeoenvironments of megafauna‐bearing sites from Pleistocene
Southeast Asia, and to describe general environmental changes in the region. Location …

Reconstructing paleoecological patterns associated with hominin taxa, such as
Australopithecus afarensis, is important for understanding possible evolutionary …

Tropical habitats are complex, and in areas of topographic or climatic variability they may
vary greatly over short distances. Accumulations of animal remains may and usually do …

The habitat preferences of fauna found at palaeontological and archaeological sites can be
used to investigate ancient environments and hominin habitat preferences. Here we present …

Research into the reconstruction of ancient communities in terms of dietary regimes, habitat
preferences and ecological interactions of species has focused predominantly on …

Fossil-based estimates of diversity and evolutionary dynamics mainly rely on the study of
morphological variation. Unfortunately, organism remains are often altered by post-mortem …

There are many hypotheses regarding influences on the early hominin biogeographic
spread into Eurasia; among them is increased meat-eating. Dmanisi in Georgia is one of the …

The taphonomic history of single fossils or of fossil assemblages provides evidence
additional to that given by taxonomic identification. Too often taphonomy is viewed as …
