On Microlithic Quartz Industries at the End of the Pleistocene in Central Africa: The Evidence From Shum Laka (NW Cameroon)
TL;DR: The rock shelter of Shum Laka, situated in the Grassfields of northwestern Cameroon, was occupied during the later Pleistocene and Holocene, and plant remains reveal that there were no drastic changes in the immediate environment of the shelter between 30,000 and 10,000 bp.

Stone Tools in Human Evolution: Behavioral Differences among Technological Primates
TL;DR: In Stone Tools in Human Evolution John Shea argues that over the past three million years hominins’ technological strategies shifted from occasional tool use to a uniquely human pattern of obligatory tool use, and predicts how the archaeological stone tool evidence should have changed as distinctively human behaviors evolved.

Douglas G. Martinson,Nicklas G Pisias,James D. Hays,John Imbrie,Theodore C. Moore,Nicholas J Shackleton +5 more
TL;DR: Using the concept of "orbital tuning", a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr as mentioned in this paper.

Mitochondrial DNA and human evolution
TL;DR: All these mitochondrial DMAs stem from one woman who is postulated to have lived about 200,000 years ago, probably in Africa, implying that each area was colonised repeatedly.
