We present a synchronization of the NGRIP, GRIP and GISP2 ice cores onto a master
chronology extending back to 104 ka before present, providing a consistent chronological …

Interglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high
sea level), end‐members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify …

Proxy reconstructions from marine sediment cores indicate peak temperatures in the first half
of the last and current interglacial periods (the thermal maxima of the Holocene epoch …

Aim The aims of this study were to assess the distribution of putative Mediterranean refugia
of plants, to compare the locations of refugia and those of regional hotspots of plant …

A comprehensive database of paleoclimate records is needed to place recent warming into
the longer-term context of natural climate variability. We present a global compilation of …

On the basis of fossil and archaeological data it has been hypothesized that the exodus of
Homo sapiens out of Africa and into Eurasia between~ 50–120 thousand years ago …

We summarize the applications of molecular proxies in paleoclimatology. Marine molecular
records especially are proving to be of value but certain environmentally persistent …

The use of socially learned information (culture) is central to human adaptations. We
investigate the hypothesis that the process of cultural evolution has played an active …

During the last glacial period, the North Atlantic regionexperienced pronounced, millennial-
scale alternations between cold, stadial conditions and milder interstadial conditions …

The last glacial period exhibited abrupt Dansgaard–Oeschger climatic oscillations, evidence
of which is preserved in a variety of Northern Hemisphere palaeoclimate archives. Ice cores …
