TLDR
The African Middle and early Late Pleistocene hominid fossil record is fairly continuous and in it can be recognized a number of probably distinct species that provide plausible ancestors for H. sapiens, and suggests a gradual assembling of the package of modern human behaviors in Africa, and its later export to other regions of the Old World.About:

Late Pleistocene Human Evolution in Eastern Asia: Behavioral Perspectives
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the current state of the Late Pleistocene behavioral record with a particular focus on the Korean and Japanese records and added a number of behaviors to the definition of the eastern Asian Late Paleolithic, traditionally defined based on the appearance of blade tool technology.

Has an aquatic diet been necessary for hominin brain evolution and functional development
TL;DR: There is no evidence that human diets based on terrestrial food chains with traditional nursing practices fail to provide adequate levels of DHA or othern-3 fatty acids, and the hypothesis that DHA has been a limiting resource in human brain evolution must be considered to be unsupported.

Extremely rare interbreeding events can explain neanderthal DNA in living humans.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the amount of Neanderthal DNA in living non-Africans can be explained with maximum probability by the exchange of a single pair of individuals between the subpopulations at each 77 generations, but larger exchange frequencies are also allowed with sizeable probability.

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.
