Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Current issues in late Middle Palaeolithic chronology: New assessments from Northern Iberia
Quaternary International, 2012 The Iberian Peninsula plays a central role in the current debates on the Middle-Upper Palaeolithic transition and the Neanderthal extinction. This is largely due to the chronological data which some authors have suggested show a clear divide between Northern Iberia, where the Upper Palaeolithic appeared as early as 36.5 ka 14C BP, and Southern Iberia ...

Genomic Diversity of Aurochs From a Mediterranean Ice‐Age Refugium
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.ABSTRACT The aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, was a keystone herbivore in Late Pleistocene Eurasian ecosystems and a major prey species for Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers. Despite its significance, the genetic structure of aurochs populations that survived the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains poorly understood, especially in southeastern

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Rib cross‐sectional mineralized area provides valuable insights into mechanical loading and bone growth and remodeling. Given the scarcity of Early Pleistocene costal remains in the context of human evolution, we aimed to study the cross‐sectional anatomy of fossil ribs from that period and compare them to a modern human ontogenetic

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Drying Meat Today as During the Late Glacial Period
EXARC Journal, 2013 Western Europe during the Upper Palaeolithic, between 42,000 years ago and 12,000 years ago, was sparsely wooded, but later there was an increase in the percentage of specimens of birch, abies, fagus and tilia hosting wildlife similar to that already ...

Opaque Social Instruments: A Cultural Evolutionary Approach to Pleistocene Symbolic Artifacts
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Prehistoric “symbolic” artifacts remain incompletely explained by semiotic models, which emphasize representational meaning but offer limited insight into how such materials emerged and spread across Pleistocene populations. This article develops a cultural evolutionary framework that reconceives early ornaments, pigments, figurines, and ...
