What Do Lithics Tell Us About Cultural Evolution? Insights From the Central African Record

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S3, Page S40-S49, June 2026.
ABSTRACT While Western historical narratives often incorporate a biased vision of human evolution—driven by a progressive view tied to a progressively evolving state of culture—this paper proposes combining archaeological lithic data with epistemological reflections to critique the modern regime of historicity, where progress is assumed as rational ...

The Geographical Distribution of Lactose Tolerance‐Associated Alleles 13910*T and 13915*G Is Strongly Linked to Male Founder Events in Eurasia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Lactose tolerance (lactase persistence) represents a very progressive human adaptation, the origins of which remain incompletely understood. This study aims to examine the geographical distribution of the two alleles associated with lactose tolerance in Eurasia (13910*T and 13915*G) in relation to the main Y haplogroups and autosomal ancestry ...
