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:

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that indigenous Australians, New Guineans and Andamanese do not derive substantial ancestry from an early dispersal of modern humans; instead, their modern human ancestry is consistent with coming from the same source as that of other non-Africans.

The Coevolution of Parochial Altruism and War
Jung-Kyoo Choi,Samuel Bowles +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that under conditions likely to have been experienced by late Pleistocene and early Holocene humans, neither parochialism nor altruism would have been viable singly, but by promoting group conflict, they could have evolved jointly.

The Origin and Evolution of Cultures
Peter J. Richerson,Robert Boyd +1 more
TL;DR: Boyd and Richerson as mentioned in this paper argued that culture is a pool of information stored in the brains of a population, that gets transmitted from one brain to another by social learning processes.
MonographDOI
The Evolution of Language
TL;DR: The authors exploit newly available massive natu- ral language corpora to capture the language as a language evolution phenomenon. But their work is limited to a subset of the languages in the corpus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Pleistocene Demography and the Appearance of Modern Human Behavior
TL;DR: A population model shows that demography is a major determinant in the maintenance of cultural complexity and that variation in regional subpopulation density and/or migratory activity results in spatial structuring of cultural skill accumulation.

Rare temporal bone pathology of the Singa calvaria from Sudan
TL;DR: The morphological evidence from the normal bony labyrinth on the left side and from the CT evaluation of the vault is consistent with the interpretation of Singa as a late archaic hominid or an early representative of Homo sapiens drawn from a population which might be directly ancestral to modern humans.

Small mammals: Post-discard patterning of !Kung San faunal remains
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the cultural and natural processes which serve to pattern faunal remains and demonstrated that these two sets of forces are tightly linked and that it may be impossible for the archaeologist to strip the latter cleanly away to reveal underlying cultural information.
