Herbivory is a key process structuring vegetation in savannas, especially in Africa where
large mammal herbivore communities remain intact. Exclusion experiments consistently …

Clovis fluted points are deemed efficient weapon tips for hunting large game, including
Pleistocene proboscideans. However, experimental and archaeological studies cast doubt …

The human trophic level (HTL) during the Pleistocene and its degree of variability serve,
explicitly or tacitly, as the basis of many explanations for human evolution, behavior, and …

Proboscideans were keystone Cenozoic megaherbivores and present a highly relevant
case study to frame the timing and magnitude of recent megafauna extinctions against long …

The arrival of modern humans into previously unoccupied island ecosystems is closely
linked to widespread extinction, and a key reason cited for Pleistocene megafauna …

Africa's fossil record of late Cenozoic mammals documents considerable ecological and
evolutionary changes through time. Here, we synthesize those changes in the context of the …

Humans are unique in their diet, physiology and socio-reproductive behavior compared to
other primates. They are also unique in the ubiquitous adaptation to all biomes and habitats …

The longstanding debate over human contribution to Pleistocene megafauna extinctions
motivates our examination of plausible hunting behaviors that may have impacted prey …

If we want to learn how to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to embrace the
complexity of this global phenomenon and capture interdependencies across scales and …

The role that humans played in the extinction of Pleistocene proboscideans is highly
