No evidence that hominin dispersal across Eurasia was part of a wider turnover in mammal distributions [PDF]

Nature Communications
The drivers and consequences of hominin dispersals out of Africa remain debated. The spatial and temporal distribution of large mammal faunas contemporaneous with early Homo provides direct evidence for their ecological context and impact. In this study,
