The “missing glaciations” of the Middle Pleistocene [PDF]

Quaternary Research, 2020
AbstractGlobal glaciations have varied in size and magnitude since the Early–Middle Pleistocene transition (~773 ka), despite the apparent regular and high-amplitude 100 ka pacing of glacial–interglacial cycles recorded in marine isotope records. The evidence on land indicates that patterns of glaciation varied dramatically between different glacial ...

MIDDLE PLEISTOCENE SMALL MAMMAL fAUNAS Of EUROPE: EVOLUTION, BIOSTRATIGRAPHY, CORRELATIONS

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2018
The paper is concerned with the small mammal fauna evolution in Europe in the Middle Pleistocene. The information on the faunas of the end of the Early Pleistocene has been also taken into consideration.

A Middle Pleistocene Denisovan molar from the Annamite Chain of northern Laos. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2022
The Pleistocene presence of the genus Homo in continental Southeast Asia is primarily evidenced by a sparse stone tool record and rare human remains. Here we report a Middle Pleistocene hominin specimen from Laos, with the discovery of a molar from the ...

Hominin evolution and diversity: a comparison of earlier-Middle and later-Middle Pleistocene hominin fossil variation in China. [PDF]

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2022
Historical views of Asia as an evolutionary ‘backwater’ are associated with the idea that Homo erectus experienced long periods of stasis and ultimately went extinct.

Genomic inference of a severe human bottleneck during the Early to Middle Pleistocene transition

Science, 2023
Population size history is essential for studying human evolution. However, ancient population size history during the Pleistocene is notoriously difficult to unravel.

Palynological records and paleoclimatic significance during the middle and late Late Pleistocene in the Qingshuihe Basin, Ningxia

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2023
Desertification and drought in inland Asia are closely related to human habitation and social sustainability in western China. The climate in western China has experienced multiple shifts in temperature and aridity since the Late Pleistocene ...

Decoupled Land and Ocean Temperature Trends in the Early‐Middle Pleistocene

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Record of long‐term land temperature changes remains ephemeral, discontinuous, and isolated, thus leaving the common view that Pleistocene land temperature evolution should have followed ocean temperatures unconfirmed.
