Radiocarbon dating uses the decay of a radioactive isotope of carbon (14C) to measure time
and date objects containing carbon-bearing material. With a half-life of 5,700±30 years …

The last decade saw a rapid increase in the number of studies where time–frequency
changes of radiocarbon dates have been used as a proxy for inferring past population …

Across the last~ 50,000 years (the late Quaternary) terrestrial vertebrate faunas have
experienced severe losses of large species (megafauna), with most extinctions occurring in …

The cause, or causes, of the Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions have been difficult to
establish, in part because poor spatiotemporal resolution in the fossil record hinders …

Multiple large-bodied species went extinct during the Pleistocene. Changing climates and/or
human hunting are the main hypotheses used to explain these extinctions. We studied the …

Governmental agencies and the medical and psychological professions are calling for a
greater focus on the negative mental health effects of climate change (CC). As a first step …

Fundamentals of Sustainable Development is an accessible and interdisciplinary textbook
that introduces the concept of sustainable development to students from across the …

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

The glacial cycles of the Quaternary heavily impacted species through successions of
population contractions and expansions. Similarly, populations have been intensely shaped …

Examining how past human populations responded to environmental and climatic changes
is a central focus of the historical sciences. The use of summed probability distributions …
