Learner-driven innovation in the stone tool technology of early Homo sapiens. [PDF]
Evol Hum Sci, 2020 Current perspectives of stone tool technology tend to emphasize homogeneity in tool forms and core reduction strategies across time and space. This homogeneity is understood to represent shared cultural traditions that are passed down through the ...

Vegetation context and climatic limits of the Early Pleistocene hominin dispersal in Europe [PDF]
, 2010 The vegetation and the climatic context in which the first hominins entered and dispersed in Europe during the Early Pleistocene are reconstructed, using literature review and a new climatic simulation. Both in situ fauna and in situ pollen at the twelve

The affinities of Homo antecessor – a review of craniofacial features and their taxonomic validity
Anthropological Review, 2018 The phylogenetic affinities of Homo antecessor, a hominin dating from the early Middle Pleistocene of Europe, are still unclear. In this study we conducted a comprehensive review of the TD6 hypodigm within the context of the historical development of ...
