Random forest models highlight early Homo sapiens habitats and their relationship to lithic assemblage composition

Quaternary Environments and Humans
Eastern Africa plays an enduring role in understanding the evolution of modern humans in relation to palaeoenvironmental change. Numerous studies have implicated ecological and geographic factors in determining the spatiotemporal patterning of ...

Climate frameworks for the Middle Stone Age and Later Stone Age in Northwest Africa

Quaternary International
This paper examines climate conditions in Northwest Africa for Marine Isotope Stage 4, 3, and 2 (71,000–11,000 years ago) and their impact on the distribution of potential suitable areas on a regional scale. The analysis uses climate simulations to model: 1) the geographical extent and variability of macro-refugia based on ethnographic data; and 2) the
