Abstract East and Southeast Asia have served as significant habitats for diverse hominins for
more than one million years. This has been demonstrated by numerous studies over the …

Bifacial tools discovered at about a hundred Lower Palaeolithic sites in the Bose Basin,
southern China, have been previously dated to around 800,000 years ago. This age was …

A growing number of authors have discussed the role of climate change in periods of
important biological and cultural transition along the hominin lineage. This paper …

Pleistocene environments are among the most studied issues in paleoecology and human
evolution research in eastern Africa. Many data have been recorded from archaeological …

The Acheulean has long been defined by its characteristic large bifacial implements (“Large
Cutting Tools”), which appear from its very beginning. While experimental work attests to the …
