Mesolithic projectile variability along the southern North Sea basin (NW Europe): Hunter-gatherer responses to repeated climate change at the beginning of the Holocene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 This paper investigates how former hunter-gatherers living along the southern North Sea coast in NW Europe adapted to long-term and short-term climatic and environmental changes at the beginning of the Holocene.

Polygyny without wealth: popularity in gift games predicts polygyny in BaYaka Pygmies [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The occurrence of polygynous marriage in hunter–gatherer societies, which do not accumulate wealth, remains largely unexplored since resource availability is dependent on male hunting capacity and limited by the lack of storage. Hunter–gatherer societies

Late Pleistocene human genome suggests a local origin for the first farmers of central Anatolia [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Central Anatolia harbored some of the earliest farming societies outside the Fertile Crescent of the Near East. Here, the authors report and analyze genome-wide data from a 15,000-year-old Anatolian hunter-gatherer and from seven Anatolian and Levantine ...

Future Discounting in Congo Basin Hunter-Gatherers Declines with Socio-Economic Transitions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Humans have a tendency to discount the future; that is we value small, short-term rewards over larger, long-term rewards. The degree of future discounting, however, changes in response to socio-ecological factors.

Different Paths of Neolithisation of the North-Eastern Part of Central Europe
Open Archaeology, 2021 Origins of the Neolithic in the north-eastern part of Central Europe were associated with migrations of groups of the Linear Pottery culture after the mid-sixth millennium BC, as in other parts of Central Europe.

Incongruity between affinity patterns based on mandibular and lower dental dimensions following the transition to agriculture in the Near East, Anatolia and Europe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 While it has been suggested that malocclusion is linked with urbanisation, it remains unclear as to whether its high prevalence began 8,000 years earlier concomitant with the transition to agriculture.

Is There Such a Thing as Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology?
Heritage, 2021 This paper examines two related questions: firstly, whether there is a distinctive field of practice that might be called “hunter-gatherer archaeology” and which is different than other kinds of archaeology, and secondly, how such a claim might be ...

A three-population wave-of-advance model for the European early Neolithic.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Ancient DNA studies have shown that early farming spread through most of Europe by the range expansion of farmers of Anatolian origin rather than by the conversion to farming of the local hunter-gatherers, and have confirmed that these hunter-gatherers ...

Agta hunter–gatherer oral microbiomes are shaped by contact network structure
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2023 Here we investigate the effects of extensive sociality and mobility on the oral microbiome of 138 Agta hunter–gatherers from the Philippines. Our comparisons of microbiome composition showed that the Agta are more similar to Central African BaYaka hunter–
