Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 In the upper basin of the Guadiana River, especially in the sectors drained by its right-bank tributaries, the Bullaque and Becea rivers, important concentrations of Acheulean and Mousterian industries can be found in a superficial position.

Understanding ancient hominin dispersals using artefactual data: a phylogeographic analysis of Acheulean handaxes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Reconstructing the dispersal patterns of extinct hominins remains a challenging but essential goal. One means of supplementing fossil evidence is to utilize archaeological evidence in the form of stone tools. Based on broad dating patterns, it

Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2012 The majority of data for the oldest palaeolithic occupations in Northern France comes from fluvial deposits in the Somme Basin. Large number of acheulean handaxes have been collected in the gravels during the exploitation of the quarries.

The palaeoecological context of the Oldowan–Acheulean in southern Africa [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2018 The influence of climatic and environmental change on human evolution in the Pleistocene epoch is understood largely from extensive East African stable isotope records. These records show increasing proportions of C4 plants in the Early Pleistocene.

PLoS ONE, 2013 The human settlement of Europe during Pleistocene times was sporadic and several stages have been recognized, both from paleaoanthropological and archaeological records.

Using bones to shape stones: MIS 9 bone retouchers at both edges of the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A significant challenge in Prehistory is to understand the mechanisms involved in the behavioural evolution of human groups. The degree of technological and cultural development of prehistoric groups is assessed mainly through stone tools. However, other

Cognitive demands of lower paleolithic toolmaking. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Stone tools provide some of the most abundant, continuous, and high resolution evidence of behavioral change over human evolution, but their implications for cognitive evolution have remained unclear.

Shared brain lateralization patterns in language and Acheulean stone tool production: a functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: The popular theory that complex tool-making and language co-evolved in the human lineage rests on the hypothesis that both skills share underlying brain processes and systems.

Lithic Miniaturization Provides a Signature of an MIS4-3 Southern Dispersal of Homo sapiens. [PDF]
Evol AnthropolABSTRACT Fossil and artefactual evidence shows Homo sapiens in Eurasia well before 75 ka. However, genetic evidence suggests all extant non‐African populations derive almost all of their ancestry from a dispersal that only diverged in the last 60–50 ka. In northern Eurasia, the Upper Paleolithic with its laminar blade knapping provides an archeological

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Current data seem to suggest that the earliest hominins only occupied the Northwest of Europe during favourable climatic periods, and left the area when the climate was too cold and dry, in the same way as Neandertal and even Homo sapiens.
