Journal ArticleDOI
New ages for human occupation and climatic change at Lake Mungo, Australia
J. M. Bowler,Harvey Johnston,Jon Olley,John R. Prescott,Richard G. Roberts,Wilfred Shawcross,Nigel A. Spooner,Nigel A. Spooner +7 more
TL;DR: A new chronology corrects previous estimates for human burials at this important site and provides a new picture of Homo sapiens adapting to deteriorating climate in the world's driest inhabited continent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birth of a biome: insights into the assembly and maintenance of the Australian arid zone biota.
Margaret Byrne,David K. Yeates,Leo Joseph,Michael R. Kearney,J. M. Bowler,Martin Williams,S. J. B. Cooper,Stephen C. Donnellan,J. S. Keogh,Remko Leys,Jane Melville,Daniel J. Murphy,Nicholas Porch,Karl-Heinz Wyrwoll +13 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the opportunities that development of arid conditions provides for rapid and diverse evolutionary radiations, and re-enforces the emerging view that Pleistocene environmental change can have diverse impacts on genetic structure and diversity in different biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aridity in Australia: Age, origins and expression in aeolian landforms and sediments
TL;DR: The early evidence of aridity in Australia is provided by the contraction of large lakes and extensive faunal changes towards the end of Tertiary time as mentioned in this paper, which played an important part in the evolution of the continental climatic pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Quaternary climates of Australia and New Guinea
TL;DR: In the last 10,000 years climate has been relatively stable although there are some indications that temperature and rainfall were marginally higher than now between 8000 and 5000 B.P as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pleistocene human remains from Australia: A living site and human cremation from Lake Mungo, western New South Wales
TL;DR: The Mungo typology changes little in south‐eastern Australia until about 6,000 years ago, and the diet is similar to that recorded in the ethnographic record, which shows some resemblances to Australian Aborigines, but there are also some palaeo‐Australian features.
