Palaeoclimatic and Ecological Determinants of Mammalian Host–Pathogen Exposure in Neanderthal-Associated Sites Across Eurasia
Understanding Neanderthal interactions with Late Pleistocene ecosystems requires examining the interplay between climate, faunal communities, and potential zoonotic exposure pathways. This study analyses 41 Neanderthal-bearing fossil assemblages across Eurasia, focusing on stratigraphic units directly associated with skeletal remains and extant mammal taxa or their close relatives to evaluate ecological conditions relevant to modern host–pathogen…
Human pre-adaptation to leishmania parasites
Determinants Shaping Human Preference for Thermal Springs in Palaeolithic Europe and Asia Minor
The role of Denisovan paleohabitats in shaping modern human genetic resistance to viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections
Denisovans contributed notably to the genomes of present-day East and Southeast Asians. However, the relationship between the inhabited paleohabitats and the adaptive genetic traits related to infections in modern humans remains underexplored. This study uses geospatial techniques to analyze climatic factors associated with three Denisovan archaeological sites linked to nine specimens. Additionally, past and present climates and biomes, as well a…
The habitat utilization and environmental resilience of Homo heidelbergensis in Europe
The European populations of Homo heidelbergensis may have contributed to the genetic heritage of modern Eurasians. A better understanding of the possible effects of palaeoenvironmental alterations on the evolution of ancient humans can help to understand the origin of developed traits. For this purpose, the spatiotemporal alterations of physical factors were modelled in Europe for the period of 670–190 ka, covering the existence of Homo heidelber…
The effects of mid-to-late Pliocene climatic fluctuations on the habitat and distribution of early hominins
The climatic fluctuations of the Pliocene played a substantial role in the emergence of Homo and Paranthropus . I studied the climatic suitability and affinity of hominins in Africa to understand how the regional effects of global climatic alternations influenced their occurrence in the mid-late Pliocene epoch. The modelled climatic suitability values indicate the existence of three potential main ranges in the continent. Late Pliocene climatic c…
Identification of sampling points for the detection of Sars-CoV-2 in the sewage system
A suitable tool for monitoring the spread of SARS-CoV-2 is to identify potential sampling points in the wastewater collection system that can be used to monitor the distribution of COVID-19 disease affected clusters within a city. The applicability of the developed methodology is presented through the description of the 72,837 population equivalent wastewater collection system of the city of Nagykanizsa, Hungary and the results of the analytical …
Late Quaternary changes in malaria-free areas in Papua New Guinea and the future perspectives
The New Guinea Highlands were among the first areas where agricultural societies developed about 9 kya. Even today, the highest human population densities can be found in the tropical highlands, those are the most important shelters for societies in this seriously malaria-affected equatorial area. In this study, the distribution and altitudinal patterns of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum malaria, as well as the potential generation num…
The Possible Time and Region of Host Switches of Ancient Malaria Parasites with Reference to the Pliocene–Quaternary Archaeological Sites in Africa
About 96% of all malaria deaths occur in Africa, and the malignant falciparum malaria also originated on the continent. Although falciparum malaria only appeared in the Holocene period, it can be hypothesized that the transfer of malaria parasites from other primates to humans occurred several times in history parallel to human evolution. This study develops the model that examines the possible coexistence of the potential original host apes, hum…
The potential persistence of ancient malaria through the Quaternary period in Europe
Several members of the Mediterranean mosquito fauna are the potential vectors of Plasmodium vivax malaria. Although it is known that such primates as Macaca populated the Old Continent at least from the late Miocene era, the possible continuity of the Mediterranean mosquito fauna in Europe previously were not studied. In this study, the potential summer generation number of a Plasmodium vivax-like malaria protozoon and the suitability patterns of…
A modelling approach to the investigation of the effects of the Minoan supervolcanic eruption on Aegean sand fly diversity
The late Bronze Age eruption of the Thera volcano was among the largest eruptions of the Holocene era. This catastrophic event might perish all organisms from the ancient Santorini and could seriously impact the sand fly fauna of the Aegean islands. To investigate these effects, the survival possibility of the sand fly fauna in the Santorini islands and the biogeographic investigation of the sand fly fauna of eleven Aegean islands were conducted.…
