Climate-driven habitat shifts of high-ranked prey species structure Late Upper Paleolithic hunting
Scientific Reports, 2023 Changing climates in the past affected both human and faunal population distributions, thereby structuring human diets, demography, and cultural evolution. Yet, separating the effects of climate-driven and human-induced changes in prey species abundances

The reliability of late radiocarbon dates from the Paleolithic of southern China [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 We have concerns over the reliability of the radiocarbon data used to support a later arrival of Homo sapiens in southern China (1). The pretreatment chemistry methods used to derive their accelerator mass spectrometry dates are not reported, they fail to define the nature of the dated material, and the limited analytical data fall almost completely ...
