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:

Crossing Deserts and Avoiding Seas: Aterian North African-European Relations
TL;DR: The authors discusses the most recent data on the Aterian in Africa and correlates them with the archaeological evidence from southwestern Europe and provides an Africanist's interpretation of the cultural development of the Atean in North Africa and considers one of the putative passageways to Europe argued by the Out-of-Africa dispersal model.

The Impact of Projectile Weaponry on Late Pleistocene Hominin Evolution
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the cross-sectional area variation among North American arrowheads and spearthrower dart tips as a criterion for evaluating hypotheses about possible stone projectile points from Eurasian Middle Paleolithic and African Middle Stone Age contexts.

Coastal Foragers on Southern Shores: Marine Resource Use in Northeast Australia since the Late Pleistocene
TL;DR: In this paper, the archaeological evidence for coastal foraging across northeast Australia from the late Pleistocene is explored and the main themes and challenges in developing an understanding of how coastal resources figured in the lives of ancient Australians are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial laggards: multilevel selection, cooperative polymorphism and division of labour in threshold public good games
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cooperation can be stable in Threshold PGG, even when the proportion of so called free riders is high in the population, and a fundamentally new mechanism is proposed how laggards, individuals that have a high tendency to defect during one specific group action can actually contribute to the fitness of the group, by playing part in an optimal resource allocation in Th threshold Public Good Games.

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.
