Early human use of marine resources and pigment in South Africa during the Middle Pleistocene
TLDR
It is shown that by ∼164’kyr ago (±12 kyr) at Pinnacle Point (on the south coast of South Africa) humans expanded their diet to include marine resources, perhaps as a response to these harsh environmental conditions.

Fire As an Engineering Tool of Early Modern Humans
TLDR
Replication experiments and analysis of artifacts suggest that humans in South Africa at this time, and perhaps earlier, systematically heated stone materials, including silcrete to improve its flaking properties in making tools.

Early hominin diet included diverse terrestrial and aquatic animals 1.95 Ma in East Turkana, Kenya
TLDR
The evidence here shows that these critical brain-growth compounds were part of the diets of hominins before the appearance of Homo ergaster/erectus and could have played an important role in the evolution of larger brains in the early history of the authors' lineage.
