A morphological mosaic indicates admixture between regional Neandertals and early modern humans dispersing into southern Iberia and establishes the complexities of the Late Pleistocene emergence of modern humans and refutes strict replacement models of modern human origins.
New evidence of Lateglacial cereal cultivation at Abu Hureyra on the Euphrates
- G. Hillman, R. Hedges, A. Moore, S. Colledge, P. Pettitt
- Environmental Science
- 1 May 2001
New evidence from the site of Abu Hureyra suggests that systematic cultivation of cereals in fact started well before the end of the Pleistocene by at least 13000 years ago, and that rye was among the first crops.
Radiocarbon evidence for the Lateglacial Human Recolonisation of Northern Europe

This paper examines, through the use of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry dating, the database of Lateglacial cultures involved in the recolonisation of northern Europe. The aim is not only to determine…
Climate change and evolving human diversity in Europe during the last glacial.

The results indicate that climate affects population contraction rather than expansion, and the consequences for genetic and cultural diversity which led to the legacy of the Ice Age: a single hominid species, globally distributed.
U-Series Dating of Paleolithic Art in 11 Caves in Spain
- A. Pike, D. Hoffmann, J. Zilhão
- ArtScience
- 15 June 2012
Dating of calcite crusts overlying art in Spanish caves shows that painting began more than 40,000 years ago, revealing either that cave art was a part of the cultural repertoire of the first anatomically modern humans in Europe or that perhaps Neandertals also engaged in painting caves.
Stable isotope evidence for increasing dietary breadth in the European mid-Upper Paleolithic

- 22 May 2001
New carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values for human remains dating to the mid-Upper Paleolithic in Europe indicate significant amounts of aquatic (fish, mollusks, and/or birds) foods in some of…
