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:

Baume Flandin et Abri du Maras : deux exemples de débitage laminaire du début du Pléistocène supérieur dans la Vallée du Rhône (sud-est, France)
TL;DR: Les assemblages lithiques "Paleolithique moyen" avec une forte proportion of lames sont rares dans le sud de l'Europe and sont dates a ce jour des stades isotopiques 4 and debut 3 as discussed by the authors.

Diagnosing Homo sapiens in the fossil record
Chris Stringer,Laura T. Buck +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, although it may not be possible or even desirable to cleanly partition out a homogenous morphological description of recent H. sapiens in the fossil record, there are key, distinguishing morphological traits in the cranium, dentition and pelvis that can be usefully employed to diagnose the H. Sapiens lineage.

Human display and dispersal: A case study from biotidal Britain in the Middle and Upper Pleistocene
TL;DR: It is argued that this development can be explained by the selective pressure from population dispersal for novel forms of cultural display that enhanced information exchange among adaptive generalists and which allowed the stretching of social relationships in space and time.

TL;DR: Clark et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that successive colonization of riparian corridors by MSA hunter-gatherers focused on exploiting localized resources during periods of generally humid climates while other lakes desiccated across Africa.

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.
