TL;DR: Neither interpretation fits the complexity of Southeast Asian history: Both Hòabìnhian hunter-gatherers and East Asian farmers contributed to current Southeast Asian diversity, with further migrations affecting island SEA and Vietnam.

TL;DR: In the context of an increasingly documented archaic–modern morphological mosaic among the earliest modern humans in western Eurasia, Tam Pa Ling establishes a definitively modern population in Southeast Asia at ∼50 ka cal BP, which provides the earliest skeletal evidence for fullymodern humans in mainland Southeast Asia.

TL;DR: The results of the fieldwork are of great interest for the following reasons: (1) the biochronological age of the fauna is consistent with 230 Th/ 234 U/ 238 U dating from the calcitic floors (6673 ka), which is the oldest well-dated modern fauna known for the Southeast Asian mainland; (2) in terms of sedimentology, the analysis of the formation of the fossiliferous breccia and that of the processes of deposits shows a close relation between the karstic deposits inside the cave and the deposits in the alluv

TL;DR: The mosaic morphology of the TPL2 and the fully modern human morphology of TPL1 suggest that a large range of morphological variation was present in early modern human populations residing in the eastern Eurasia by MIS 3.

TL;DR: In this paper, a biochronological framework at the transition between the Middle to Late Pleistocene and the Late Pliocene is proposed for mammalian faunal composition and evolutionary stages of the species.
