Nonlinear rainfall effects on savanna fire activity across the African Humid Period
Fire is a key ecosystem process in tropical and subtropical savannas, with a varying role that
depends on hydroclimate but also on feedbacks between fire and vegetation. In savannas …

Pleistocene climate variability in eastern Africa influenced hominin evolution
Despite more than half a century of hominin fossil discoveries in eastern Africa, the regional
environmental context of hominin evolution and dispersal is not well established due to the …

Hydroclimate changes in eastern Africa over the past 200,000 years may have influenced early human dispersal
Reconstructions of climatic and environmental conditions can contribute to current debates
about the factors that influenced early human dispersal within and beyond Africa. Here we …

Changes in the cyclicity and variability of the eastern African paleoclimate over the last 620 kyrs
There is ongoing debate concerning whether or not changes in the eastern African climate,
both long-term and short-term, affected the evolution, dispersal, cultural development, and …
