TL;DR: The results of new excavations conducted at Madjedbebe, a rock shelter in northern Australia, set a new minimum age of around 65,000 years ago for the arrival of humans in Australia, the dispersal of modern humans out of Africa, and the subsequent interactions ofmodern humans with Neanderthals and Denisovans.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Broad continuity of Middle Paleolithic technology across the YTT event suggests that hominins persisted regionally across this major eruptive event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pelagic Fishing at 42,000 Years Before the Present and the Maritime Skills of Modern Humans
TL;DR: Remains of a variety of pelagic and other fish species dating to 42,000 years before the present from Jerimalai shelter in East Timor are reported, as well as the earliest definite evidence for fishhook manufacture in the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Out of Africa: new hypotheses and evidence for the dispersal of Homo sapiens along the Indian Ocean rim
TL;DR: It is suggested that modern humans were present in Arabia and South Asia earlier than currently believed, and probably coincident with the presence of Homo sapiens in the Levant between ca 130 and 70 000 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population increase and environmental deterioration correspond with microlithic innovations in South Asia ca. 35,000 years ago
Michael D. Petraglia,Chris Clarkson,Nicole Boivin,Michael Haslam,Ravi Korisettar,Gyaneshwer Chaubey,Peter Ditchfield,Dorian Q. Fuller,Hannah V. A. James,Sacha Jones,Toomas Kivisild,Jinu Koshy,Marta Mirazón Lahr,Mait Metspalu,Richard G. Roberts,Lee J. Arnold +15 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the transition to microlithic technology may relate to changes in subsistence practices, as increasingly large and probably fragmented populations exploited resources in contracting favorable ecological zones just before the onset of full glacial conditions.
