East African landscapes today are the result of the cumulative effects of climate and land-
use change over millennial timescales. In this review, we compile archaeological and …

Palaeoecological data recording a pronounced environmental shift centred about 4000
years BP are presented from tropical Africa and South America. The environmental shift is …

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers were used in combination with
genomic in situ hybridisation (GISH) to investigate the origin of the allotetraploid species …

Extremely arid conditions in tropical Africa occurred in several discrete episodes between
135 and 90 ka, as demonstrated by lake core and seismic records from multiple basins …

Abstract Pollen data from 18,000 14C yr bp were compiled in order to reconstruct biome
distributions at the last glacial maximum in southern Europe and Africa. Biome …

Tanzania is one of the most biologically diverse nations in the world. Traveling from west to
east across Tanzania, one encounters an incredible array of ecosystems and species …

Cultural landscapes are usually understood within physical geography as those transformed
by human action. As human influence on the earth increases, advances in palaeocological …

Abstract Both North and East Africa experienced more humid conditions during the early and
mid-Holocene epoch (11,000–5000 yr BP; 11–5 ka) relative to today. The North African …

This paper considers the evolution of Homo sapiens in eastern Africa in relation to refugia
and bottlenecks around∼ 200ka BP, at a macro scale. Middle Stone Age (MSA) lithics, site …

Forcing mechanisms of tropical climate in continental areas remain poorly understood, due
in large part to a lack of continuous, long-term, high-fidelity records. Sediment core T97-52V …
