Testing the limits of archaeological datasets
Seasonal Resource Availability and Dietary Selection in Baboons
Selective pressures related to resource availability, nutritional constraints, and foraging costs have played an important role in shaping primate and early hominin dietary strategies. To distinguish between ecological and technological drivers of dietary evolution, this study examines baboon ( Papio cynocephalus ) foraging as a comparative model for non-technological foraging systems. Literature based ecological, behavioral, and nutritional data…
What Is the Acheulean
The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia. Originally defined in the 1870s, the term Acheulean is one of the earliest and most contested classifications i…
Subsistence Strategies in Agent-Based Models of Foraging Hominins
Hominins lived for most of their history as foragers in complete dependence on plants and animals in their surroundings. Depending on the regions they occupied, the available resources may have differed greatly intra- and inter-annually while shifts in climate altered the available ecosystems over time. How hominins may have behaved under these conditions and adapted to new challenges is increasingly studied using agent-based models (ABMs), as th…
Changing Movements in a Changing World
In a world of drastic climatic and ecological changes, our knowledge of how the environment influenced hominin behaviour is of the utmost importance. Archaeology plays a key role in this domain, as it is the only discipline that studies empirical evidence of past societies’ responses to environmental change. Computational models generating predictions about past climatic and ecological conditions are vital for understanding the archaeological rec…
Animals, environments and humans
Diversified subsistence strategies in early sedentary populations of mainland Southeast Asia
In the past two decades, zooarchaeology combined with improved dating techniques has provided significant insights into the initial appearance of domestic animals in Southeast Asia. The suite of domestic animals commonly associated with Neolithic introduction-pigs (Sus scrofa), dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), chicken (Gallus gallus), and bovines (Bubalus bubalis and Bos sp(p).)-arrived early in some areas but not others. In Southern Vietnam, analy…
Early hominins
We can see an increasing consumption of meat together with the corresponding behavioral adaptations in early hominins, such as Homo erectus. This new development was driven by one or more behavioral adaptations, such as a shift to a higher-quality diet, increased social interactions and/or changes in the life history strategies. The methods by which these hominins obtained meat—through scavenging the carcasses of large herbivores or hunting thems…

The effect of competition on shared food resources in carnivore guilds
The study aims to develop a model for quantifying competitive relations within carnivore guilds. Previous methods were able to calculate competition or niche overlap, but were not applicable to the entire guild. They only permit a pairwise view among the guild members and neither the amount of the resource nor the role of the resource in the diet of each guild member is considered. The model we introduce is based on the theory of competition-free…

Modelling human presence and environmental dynamics during the Mid-Pleistocene Revolution
Increasing Behavioral Flexibility? An Integrative Macro-Scale Approach to Understanding the Middle Stone Age of Southern Africa
The earliest stages of hominin dispersal in Africa and Eurasia
This chapter describes the earliest potential movements of hominins (proto‐humans) within Africa, starting from almost 7 mya, and focusing on the genesis of Australopithecus and Homo and the dispersal of the latter into Eurasia soon after 2 mya. The emphasis here is on the fossil record
Linked effects of climate change, orbital forcing, tectonics, and biotic interaction

Relocation of the 1936 Mojokerto skull discovery site near Perning, East Java
Historical Evidence of the 1936 Mojokerto Skull Discovery, East Java
Human races and the problem of varibility
In parts of anthropology race concepts were playing a central role for evolutionary reconstruction as a means for assessment and study of human variability. This method was criticised already quite early. In this paper the arguments of one of those early critics, Franz Weidenreich, are introduced and reconstructed on a methodological basis. While avoiding race concepts, Franz Weidenreich developed other methods for reconstructing lines of evoluti…
