TL;DR: Replication experiments and analysis of artifacts suggest that humans in South Africa at this time, and perhaps earlier, systematically heated stone materials, including silcrete to improve its flaking properties in making tools.

TL;DR: A reanalysis of the chronology of the Chusang site, located on the central Tibetan Plateau at an elevation of ~4270 meters above sea level, suggests that the site was part of an annual, permanent, preagricultural occupation of the central plateau.

TL;DR: The analysis indicates that American dogs were not derived from North American wolves but likely originated from a Siberian ancestor, and form a monophyletic lineage that likely originated in Siberia and dispersed into the Americas alongside people.

TL;DR: In this article, Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) measurements of individual quartz grains are reported for Middle Paleolithic (MP) or Middle Stone Age (MSA) deposits in La Grotte des Contrebandiers, Morocco.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holocene glacier fluctuations and migration of Neolithic yak pastoralists into the high valleys of northwest Bhutan
Michael C. Meyer,Ch.-Ch. Hofmann,Alastair M.D. Gemmell,E. Haslinger,Hermann Häusler,D. Wangda +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present geomorphologic, palaeoenvironmental and archaeo-botanical data which elucidate the Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacial history of the high, mountain-locked Himalayan valleys in northwest Bhutan and provide one of the earliest proofs of human activity yet known for the High Himalaya range.
