Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals from quartz can be used to determine when
sedimentary archives were deposited. OSL dating uses the accumulation of energy stored in …

BACKGROUND The earliest fossils of Homo sapiens are located in Africa and dated to the
late Middle Pleistocene. At some point later, modern humans dispersed into Asia and …

The availability of complete human genome sequences from populations across the world
has given rise to new population genetic inference methods that explicitly model ancestral …

On the basis of fossil and archaeological data it has been hypothesized that the exodus of
Homo sapiens out of Africa and into Eurasia between~ 50–120 thousand years ago …

It is now possible to make direct measurements of the mutation rate in modern humans
using next-generation sequencing. These measurements reveal a value that is …

The timing of the dispersal of anatomically modern humans (AMH) out of Africa is a
fundamental question in human evolutionary studies. Existing data suggest a rapid coastal …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Understanding the timing and character of the expansion of Homo sapiens out of Africa is
critical for inferring the colonization and admixture processes that underpin global …

There is currently no calibration available for the whole human mtDNA genome,
incorporating both coding and control regions. Furthermore, as several authors have pointed …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …
