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.

Rethinking Hominin Air Sac Loss in Light of Phylogenetically Meaningful Evidence. [PDF]
Evol AnthropolABSTRACT The evolution of laryngeal air sacs in hominins has been a subject of considerable debate, with particular attention given to the inferred presence of air sacs in Australopithecus afarensis and inferred absence in Middle and Upper Pleistocene hominins.

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

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.

Animal residues found on tiny Lower Paleolithic tools reveal their use in butchery [PDF]
, 2019 Stone tools provide a unique window into the mode of adaptation and cognitive abilities of Lower Paleolithic early humans. The persistently produced large cutting tools (bifaces/handaxes) have long been an appealing focus of research in the ...

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.
