The Effects of Biome Stability During the Quaternary on Plant Diversity
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We used machine learning to reconstruct global biome changes over the last 2.6 million years, revealing that tropical forests, deserts, and temperate forests were relatively stable, whereas northern Europe and North America experienced frequent biome shifts due to ice sheet expansions.

Vegetation context and climatic limits of the Early Pleistocene hominin dispersal in Europe
, 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

Retaining Models of Human Evolution After Repeated Falsifications—Why?
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.Two 19th century paradigms of human evolution emerged: Humans are subdivided into isolated populations in an evolutionary tree, versus human populations interbreed (gene flow) with no isolates. The tree model has been rejected whenever tested since the 1970's, whereas gene flow consistently fits.

Futures of Transit Work: Contesting Devaluation and Neoliberal Automation in Bus Transit
Anthropology of Work Review, Volume 47, Issue 1, July 2026.ABSTRACT Being a bus operator has long meant access to middle class wages, quality benefits, and union membership, forms of security increasingly rare amid growing precarity. But transit is in trouble. In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic and decades of disinvestment, bus operators face mounting time pressure, frequent violence, and eroding job ...

Evolution of primate social systems:implications for hominin social evolution
, 2014 Understanding hominin social evolution has long been bedevilled by the fact that we have no general theories of primate evolution. As a result, most attempts to reconstruct hominin social evolution have been, at best, speculative.

Hominin Brain Evolution:The Only Way Is Up?
, 2018 Traditional views of human brain evolution focus on increases in brain size. However, the brain endocast of Homo naledi adds evidence that brain re-organisation played a significant role in hominin evolution.

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 866-884, July 2026.The Megalopolis Basin is located in the central Peloponnese (Greece), a region that is situated along one of the primary Pleistocene biogeographical corridors for intracontinental hominin migration. The basin comprises several hundred metres of Plio‐Pleistocene sediments alternating between clastics and lignites.

Evolution of Hominin Forelimbs in the Context of Bipedalism
, 2019 The evolution of bipedalism in the hominin lineage coincided with a major shift in the locomotion function of the forelimbs, from producing external forces in contact with the substrate in the arboreal and quadrupedal last common ancestor with ...

Evolutionary Geography and the Afrotropical Model of Hominin Evolution
, 2018 During the second half of the twentieth century, the evidence that Africa was central to hominin evolution became overwhelming. The earliest occurrences of most of the fossil hominin taxa and lithic technologies are to be found in Africa, and there is ...
