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:

Functional Divergence of the Nuclear Receptor NR2C1 as a Modulator of Pluripotentiality During Hominid Evolution
Jennifer L. Baker,Jennifer L. Baker,Katherine A. Dunn,Joseph Mingrone,Bernard Wood,Beverly A. Karpinski,Chet C. Sherwood,Derek E. Wildman,Thomas M. Maynard,Joseph P. Bielawski +9 more
TL;DR: This study illustrates that the combination of targeted evolutionary surveys and experimental analysis is an effective strategy for investigating the evolution of gene regulation with respect to developmental phenotypes.

A Middle Palaeolithic bone tool from Crimea (Ukraine)
Ariane Burke,Francesco d'Errico +1 more
TL;DR: A fragment of equid tibia found with a Mousterian assemblage in a rockshelter in the Crimean peninsula is carefully examined by as discussed by the authors, who show that it has been knapped like flint to produce a tool probably at a time when stone resources were becoming exhausted.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for raw material management as a response to local and global environmental constraints
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possibility of changes in raw material availability through the action of geodynamic processes, which could have exerted selective pressures on the technological strategies employed by human populations.

The archaeology of persistent places: the Palaeolithic case of La Cotte de St Brelade, Jersey
Andrew M. Shaw,Martin Bates,Chantal Conneller,Clive Gamble,Marie-Anne Julien,John McNabb,Matt Pope,Beccy Scott +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the continued use of the site by Neanderthals throughout an extended period of changing climate and environment reveals how, despite changes in the types of behaviour recorded at the site, La Cotte emerged as a persistent place in the memory and landscape of its early hominin inhabitants.

Emergence of a Blade Industry and Evolution of Late Paleolithic Technology in the Republic of Korea
TL;DR: The origin and spread of behavioral modernity has been one of the most hotly debated paleo-anthropological issues during the past two decades or so as mentioned in this paper, and any change can be explained in terms of interplay among various factors, including technological constraints, raw material availability, mobility, and extended social networks.

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.
