Downscaling last glacial maximum climate over southern Africa
We conducted the first dynamic downscaling of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) climate over
southern Africa using a regional climate model. Eight coupled global climate model (CGCM) …

The dynamic relationship between temperate and tropical circulation systems across South Africa since the last glacial maximum
A fundamental and long-standing question of southern African palaeoclimatology is the way
tropical and temperate climate system dynamics have influenced rainfall regimes across the …

Climate shifts orchestrated hominin interbreeding events across Eurasia
When, where, and how often hominin interbreeding happened is largely unknown. We study
the potential for Neanderthal-Denisovan admixture using species distribution models that …

Human origins in a southern African palaeo-wetland and first migrations
Anatomically modern humans originated in Africa around 200 thousand years ago (ka),,–.
Although some of the oldest skeletal remains suggest an eastern African origin, southern …

Concurrent Asian monsoon strengthening and early modern human dispersal to East Asia during the last interglacial
The relationship between initial Homo sapiens dispersal from Africa to East Asia and the
orbitally paced evolution of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM)—currently the largest …

A two-million-year-long hydroclimatic context for hominin evolution in southeastern Africa
The past two million years of eastern African climate variability is currently poorly
constrained, despite interest in understanding its assumed role in early human evolution …

Theoretical and methodological approaches to ecological changes, social behaviour and human intergroup tolerance 300,000 to 30,000 BP
Archaeological evidence suggests that important shifts were taking place in the character of
human social behaviours 300,000 to 30,000 years ago. New artefact types appear and are …

Further evidence for bow hunting and its implications more than 60 000 years ago: Results of a use-trace analysis of the bone point from Klasies River Main site, South …
The bone point (SAM 42160) from> 60 ka deposits at Klasies River Main Site, South Africa,
is reassessed. We clarify the stratigraphic integrity of SAM 42160 and confirm its Middle …

U-Th dating, taphonomy, and taxonomy of shell middens at Klasies River main site indicate stable and systematic coastal exploitation by MIS 5c-d
The archaeological record, particularly of shellfish, from the Klasies River main site (KRM) is
important in understanding the fluctuating nature of coastal occupational patterns and …

Connections, culture and environments around 100 000 years ago at Klasies River main site
In this paper the new excavations at Klasies River main site are introduced and the first
results presented and linked with previous work, establishing a baseline for future reporting …
