Building phenotypic character matrices for phylogenetic inference: exploration of 35 years of practice

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

Early Upper Paleolithic Man and Late Middle Paleolithic Tools [PDF]

American Anthropologist, 1971
The appearance of anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Europe, the Near East, and Africa must represent either an in situ evolution of Neandertals or a migration. Those who suggest the latter claim a sudden replacement of Neandertals by anatomically modern Homo sapiens.

Population Genomics Insights into Pharmacogenomic Differentiation Between East Asians and Europeans

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Genetic variation contributes substantially to interindividual and interpopulation differences in drug response, yet most pharmacogenomic studies remain biased toward European populations. Here, we systematically assessed pharmacogenomic variation across East Asians (EAS) and Europeans (EUR) using public genomic datasets and investigated the potential ...

Insights into Red Deer Ecology during the Late Epigravettian: New isotopic evidence from Riparo Tagliente (Italian Prealps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Late Glacial marked a shift from the cold conditions of Greenland Stadial‐2 (GS‐2) to the warmer phases of Greenland Interstadial‐1 (GI‐1), enabling the reoccupation of Alpine regions by Late Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers.

The Effects of Secondary Recycling on the Technological Character of Lithic Assemblages

, 2020
Recycling of lithic artifacts, including both lithic scavenging and secondary recycling, is a widely recognized phenomenon in the Paleolithic archeological record, in some instances creating tools with morphological signatures characteristic of multiple ...

External auditory exostoses among western Eurasian late Middle and Late Pleistocene humans.

PLoS ONE, 2019
External auditory exostoses (EAE) have been noted among the Neandertals and a few other Pleistocene humans, but until recently they have been discussed primary as minor pathological lesions with possible auditory consequences.

The Middle Paleolithic of the Levant

Archaeology, Ethnology & Anthropology of Eurasia, 2016
This study explores the origin and development of the Middle Paleolithic in the Levant—a region critical for understanding the dispersal of anatomically modern humans. The technological and typological features of the regional Middle Paleolithic industry indicate its distinctiveness, opposing it to other contemporaneous industries of Africa and Eurasia.

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Middle Paleolithic Arrowheads? Three More Potential Armatures in the Middle Paleolithic Assemblage from Heidesheim-Höllenberg, Germany

, 2020
As was reported previously, seventeen potential armatures fashioned almost exclusively from metaquartzite were recovered at the Middle Paleolithic surface site of Heidesheim-Höllenberg near Mainz, Germany (Anderson 2018).

Exploitation of Rabbits at the Dawn of the Holocene: Evidence From the Font Voltada Site (Northeastern Iberia) Using Comparative Neotaphonomic Models

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene, hunter‐gatherer societies in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula increased the number of settlements and broadened their subsistence strategies. This period is marked by the appearance of terrestrial snail accumulations attributable to human harvesting, the expansion of specialized ...
