TLDR
The modelled dispersal route suggests that H. erectus remained preferentially associated with low/middle latitude sites throughout its colonization history, pointing to the fact that predator avoidance may have conditioned its long-distance diffusion as it moved outside Africa.About:

Long-term patterns of body mass and stature evolution within the hominin lineage.
TL;DR: Combined taxonomic and temporal analyses show that in relation to australopithecines, early Homo is characterized by significantly larger average body mass and stature but retains considerable diversity, including small body sizes.

TL;DR: Evidence of Middle Pleistocene activity in the central Aegean Basin at the chert extraction and reduction complex of Stelida (Naxos, Greece) is presented, opening the possibility of alternative routes into Southeast Europe from Anatolia (and Africa) for hominins and early modern humans.

The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct the trophic level (HTL) during the Pleistocene by reviewing evidence for the impact of the HTL on the biological, ecological, and behavioral systems derived from various existing studies.

Toward a Macroevolutionary Theory of Human Evolution: The Social Protocell
Claes Andersson,Petter Törnberg +1 more
TL;DR: The radical proposition that the cultural communities within which Homo emerged may be understood as a novel exotic form of organism is made, and it is hypothesized that the fate of the hominin in such a setting would be mutualistic coadaptation into a part-whole relation with the sociont.

Maps of Pleistocene sea levels in Southeast Asia: shorelines, river systems and time durations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a series of maps that estimate the areas of exposed land in the Indo-Australian region during periods of the Pleistocene when sea levels were below present day levels.
