Evolution of early Homo: An integrated biological perspective
Background Until recently, the evolution of the genus Homo has been interpreted in the
context of the onset of African aridity and the expansion of open grasslands. Homo erectus …

The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene
M Ben‐Dor, R Sirtoli, R Barkai - American journal of physical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The human trophic level (HTL) during the Pleistocene and its degree of variability serve,

Characteristic processes of human evolution caused the Anthropocene and may obstruct its global solutions
We propose that the global environmental crises of the Anthropocene are the outcome of a
ratcheting process in long-term human evolution which has favoured groups of increased …

Wild macaques challenge the origin of intentional tool production
Intentionally produced sharp-edged stone flakes and flaked pieces are our primary evidence
for the emergence of technology in our lineage. This evidence is used to decipher the …
