Biological Foundations and Origin of Syntax
TL;DR: The book defines areas where consensus has been established with regard to the nature, infrastructure, and evolution of the syntax of natural languages; summarizes and evaluates contrasting approaches in areas that remain controversial; and suggests lines for future research to resolve at least some of these disputed issues.

An empirical test of the relative frequency of bipolar reduction in Beds VI, V, and III at Mumba Rockshelter, Tanzania: implications for the East African Middle to Late Stone Age transition
TL;DR: Mehlman et al. as discussed by the authors used a quantified, experimentally derived proxy to track the relative amount of bipolar percussion among Mumba's Beds VI, V, and III, concluding that Bed V represents one of the earliest manifestations of the LSA in East Africa.

Anne Delagnes,Arnaud Lenoble,Sonia Harmand,Jean-Philip Brugal,Sandrine Prat,Jean-Jacques Tiercelin,Hélène Roche +6 more
TL;DR: Nadung'a 4 is one of the single carcass pachyderm sites recorded in East Africa during the Early Middle Pleistocene as mentioned in this paper, which has yielded an abundant lithic assemblage in close association with the partial carcass of an elephant.

A mosaic of change : the Middle-Upper Paleolithic transition as viewed from New Mexico and Iberia
TL;DR: This article reviewed and compared relevant aspects of the records from Europe and Africa, and then focused on the Iberian Peninsula, to highlight the arbitrary nature of our concept of an MP-UP transition.

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.
