Oxygen isotope analyses of skeletal remains (18 O/16 O, δ 18 O) are a powerful tool for
exploring major themes in bioarchaeology (the study of biological archaeological remains) …

ABSTRACT 1 Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has the potential to become a widespread tool in
mammalian ecology, because of its power in resolving the ecological and behavioural …

The geological record encodes the relationship between climate and atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2) over long and short timescales, as well as potential drivers of evolutionary …

The oldest Oldowan tool sites, from around 2.6 million years ago, have previously been
confined to Ethiopia's Afar Triangle. We describe sites at Nyayanga, Kenya, dated to 3.032 …

Aridification is often considered a major driver of long-term ecological change and hominin
evolution in eastern Africa during the Plio-Pleistocene; however, this hypothesis remains …

Ice Age megafauna have long been known to be associated with global cooling during the
Pleistocene, and their adaptations to cold environments, such as large body size, long hair …

Southeast Asia has emerged as an important region for understanding hominin and
mammalian migrations and extinctions. High-profile discoveries have shown that Southeast …

A diverse assemblage of large mammals is spatially and stratigraphically associated with
Ardipithecus ramidus at Aramis. The most common species are tragelaphine antelope and …

Abstract The Middle to Later Stone Age transition in Africa has been debated as a significant
shift in human technological, cultural, and cognitive evolution. However, the majority of …

The measurement of stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes in tissues of
organisms has formed the foundation of isotopic food web reconstructions, as these values …
