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:

Eat what is there: hunting and gathering in the world of Neanderthals and their neighbours
TL;DR: In this paper, the current state of our knowledge of Neanderthal hunting and gathering is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the transition from the Middle to the Upper Palaeolithic, and it is argued that the zooarchaeological data do not support any general change in strategy during this transition.

Comparing Stone Tool Resharpening Trajectories with the Aid of Elliptical Fourier Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a variant of a new method for comparing resharpening trajectories, using elliptical Fourier analysis (EFA) and principal components analysis to compare the slopes of allometric regressions, is presented.

Are osseous artefacts a window to perishable material culture? Implications of an unusually complex bone tool from the Late Pleistocene of East Timor.
TL;DR: Examination of ethnographic projectile technology from the region of Melanesia and Australasia shows that all of the technological elements observed in the Matja Kuru 2 artefact were in use historically in the region, including the unusual feature of bilateral notching to stabilize a hafted point.

First Neanderthal remains from Greece: the evidence from Lakonis.
TL;DR: Panagopoulou et al. as discussed by the authors reported the discovery of a Neanderthal tooth(LKH 1) found in association with the Initial Upper Paleolithic from Lakonis I, SouthernGreece, and provisionally dated to <38-44 Ka.

Upper Pleistocene human dispersals out of Africa: A Review of the current state of the debate

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.
