TLDR
In this paper, the authors evaluate the palaeoenvironmental setting for hominin dispersals between, and within, northeast Africa and southwest Asia during Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 7-5 using reconstructions of surface freshwater availability as an environmental proxy.About:

On the origin of modern humans: Asian perspectives
TL;DR: The current state of the Late Pleistocene Asian human evolutionary record is reviewed from archaeology, hominin paleontology, geochronology, genetics, and paleoclimatology, and cultural variability discerned from archaeological studies indicates that modern human behaviors did not simply spread across Asia in a time-transgressive pattern.

Late Pleistocene climate drivers of early human migration
Axel Timmermann,Tobias Friedrich +1 more
TL;DR: Results from a numerical human dispersal model document that orbital-scale global climate swings played a key role in shaping Late Pleistocene global population distributions, whereas millennial-scale abrupt climate changes, associated with Dansgaard–Oeschger events, had a more limited regional effect.

TL;DR: Al Wusta shows that early H. sapiens dispersals out of Africa were not limited to winter rainfall-fed Levantine Mediterranean woodlands immediately adjacent to Africa, but extended deep into the semi-arid grasslands of Arabia, facilitated by periods of enhanced monsoonal rainfall.

Origins of modern human ancestry
Anders Bergström,Chris Stringer,Mateja Hajdinjak,Eleanor M. L. Scerri,Eleanor M. L. Scerri,Eleanor M. L. Scerri,Pontus Skoglund +6 more
TL;DR: A review of the three key phases that define the origins of modern human ancestry can be found in this article, which highlights the importance of analysing both palaeo-anthropological and genomic records to further improve our understanding of our evolutionary history.

The Greening of the Sahara: Past Changes and Future Implications
Francesco S. R. Pausata,Marco Gaetani,Gabriele Messori,Gabriele Messori,Alexis Berg,Danielle Maia de Souza,Rowan F. Sage,Peter B deMenocal +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the literature on past and projected changes in the hydroclimate of the Sahelian-Saharan region and the associated feedbacks and further address the current state of knowledge concerning Saharan and SahelIAN afforestation projects and their consequences.
