Relatively open vegetation landscapes promoted early Pleistocene hominin evolution

Communications Earth & Environment
Vegetation structure and landscape openness are key ecological factors influencing human behavioural and cultural adaptation strategies. However, there is ongoing debate and lack of quantitative assessment about which vegetation landscape and openness ...

Can the Archaeology of Manual Specialization Tell Us Anything About Language Evolution? A Survey of the State of Play

, 2009
In this review and position paper we explore the neural substrates for manual specialization and their possible connection with language and speech. We focus on two contrasting hypotheses of the origins of language and manual specialization: the language-

Mid-Pleistocene aridity and landscape shifts promoted Palearctic hominin dispersals

Population expansions and contractions out of and into Africa since the early Pleistocene have influenced the course of human evolution. While local- and regional-scale investigations have provided insights into the drivers of Eurasian hominin dispersals,
