Age dating and the orbital theory of the ice ages: Development of a high-resolution 0 to 300,000-year chronostratigraphy
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.
