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

The Rungwe Volcanic Province in SW Tanzania is a densely populated area that is
considered volcanically active. As part of the East African Rift System, a significant control of …

We define 17 African land mammal ages, or AFLMAs, covering the Cenozoic record of the
Afro-arabian continent, the planet's second largest land mass. While fossiliferous deposits …

Bipedality evolved early in hominin evolution, and at some point was associated with hair
loss over most of the body. One classic explanation (Wheeler 1984: J. Hum. Evol. 13, 91–98) …

Focal topics for volumes in the series will include systematic paleontology of all vertebrates
(from agnathans to humans), phylogeny reconstruction, functional morphology, paleolithic …

Abstract The development of East African savannas is crucial for the origin and evolution of
early hominins. These ecosystems, however, vary widely in their fraction of woody cover and …

Carbon-13 and oxygen-18 abundances were measured in large mammal skeletal remains
(tooth enamel, dentine and bone) from the Chiwondo Beds in Malawi, which were dated by …

Vertebrate faunas provide important evidence for the ecological context of evolving
hominins over a wide range of scales, from site-specific analysis of taxa directly associated …

The late phases of the Middle Stone Age (MSA) in the East African Rift System (EARS) are
known for their evolutionary shifts and association with bottlenecks, transcontinental …

Landscape evolution is a complicated process responding to geological, geomorphological
and climatic processes which are preserved in the geological record. Sediment archives …
