Biocultural Theory: The Current State of Knowledge
Joseph Carroll,Mathias Clasen,Emelie Jonsson,Alexandra Kratschmer,Luseadra McKerracher,Felix Riede,Jens-Christian Svenning,Peter C. Kjærgaard +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that a mature biocultural paradigm needs to be informed by at least 7 major research clusters: (a) gene-culture coevolution; (b) human life history theory; (c) evolutionary social psychology; (d) anthropological research on contemporary hunter-gatherers; (e) bioculture socioeconomic and political history; (f) evolutionary aesthetics; and (g) bioocultural research in the humanities (religions, ideologies, the history of ideas, and the arts).
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecological niche and distribution of Neanderthals during the Last Interglacial
Blas M. Benito,Jens-Christian Svenning,Trine Kellberg-Nielsen,Felix Riede,Graciela Gil-Romera,Thomas Mailund,Peter C. Kjærgaard,Brody Sandel +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of climate and topography in shaping the distribution of Neanderthals at different spatial scales and found that annual rainfall and winter temperatures were the most important predictors at the continental scale, while topography and summer rainfall defined habitat suitability at the local scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating Neanderthal dispersal above 55°N in Europe during the Last Interglacial Complex
Trine Kellberg Nielsen,Blas M. Benito,Jens-Christian Svenning,Brody Sandel,Luseadra McKerracher,Felix Riede,Peter C. Kjærgaard +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of research bias and taphonomic bias in the archaeological invisibility of Neanderthals in Southern Scandinavia during the Eemian Interglacial and Early Weichselian Glaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Going the whole orang: Darwin, Wallace and the natural history of orangutans
TL;DR: The European discovery and early ideas about orangutans followed by the contrasting experiences with these animals of the co-founders of evolution by natural selection, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace are surveyed.
