Despite its largely hyper-arid and inhospitable climate today, the Arabian Peninsula is emerging as an important area for investigating Pleistocene hominin dispersals. Recently, a member of our own species was found in northern Arabia dating to ca. 90 ka, while stone tools and fossil finds have hinted at an earlier, middle Pleistocene, hominin presence. However, there remain few direct insights into Pleistocene environments, and associated hominin adaptations, that accompanied the movement of… Expand

A taxonomic and taphonomic study of Pleistocene fossil deposits from the western Nefud Desert, Saudi Arabia
Abstract Over the past decade, a growing interest has developed on the archaeology, palaeontology, and palaeoenvironments of the Arabian Peninsula. It is now clear that hominins repeatedly dispersed… Expand
The expansion of Acheulean hominins into the Nefud Desert of Arabia
TLDR
The first dated Acheulean site from the Nefud Desert of northern Saudi Arabia is reported, together with palaeoecological evidence for an associated deep, probably fresh-water, lake and luminescence ages indicate that the associated artefacts date to MIS 9. Expand
Taphonomic and zooarchaeological investigations at the middle Pleistocene site of Ti's al Ghadah, western Nefud Desert, Saudi Arabia
In recent years, the Arabian Peninsula has emerged as a key region for elucidating hominin and faunal evolution and dispersals between Africa and Eurasia. Central to this research is the middle… Expand
Isotopic evidence for initial coastal colonization and subsequent diversification in the human occupation of Wallacea
TLDR
Stable carbon and oxygen isotope analysis is applied to human and faunal tooth enamel from six Late Pleistocene to Holocene archaeological sites across Wallacea to demonstrate that the earliest human forager found in the region c . Expand
Human footprints provide snapshot of last interglacial ecology in the Arabian interior
TLDR
It is concluded that visitation to the lake was transient, likely serving as a place to drink and to forage, and that late Pleistocene human and mammalian migrations and landscape use patterns in Arabia were inexorably linked. Expand
An isotopic test of the seasonal migration hypothesis for large grazing ungulates inhabiting the Palaeo-Agulhas Plain
Abstract The Greater Cape Floristic Region of South Africa was critical to the evolution of early modern humans (Homo sapiens) during the Pleistocene. The now submerged continental shelf formed its… Expand
Shell sclerochronology and stable oxygen isotope ratios from the limpet Patella depressa Pennant, 1777: Implications for palaeoclimate reconstruction and archaeology in northern Spain
Abstract Stable oxygen isotope ratios of mollusc shells (δ18Oshell) offer the possibility to reconstruct coastal resource exploitation patterns and changes in the oceanographic conditions of direct… Expand
Pluvial periods in Southern Arabia over the last 1.1 million-years
Abstract Past climates and environments experienced by the Saharo-Arabian desert belt are of prime importance for palaeoclimatic and palaeoanthropological research. On orbital timescales… Expand
Earliest Olduvai hominins exploited unstable environments ~ 2 million years ago
TLDR
A multiproxy dataset from Ewass Oldupa, in the Western Plio-Pleistocene rift basin of Olduvai Gorge (now Oldupai), Tanzania, is reported to address this lacuna and offer an ecological perspective on human adaptability two million years ago. Expand
Oxygen isotope analyses of ungulate tooth enamel confirm low seasonality of rainfall contributed to the African Humid Period in Somalia
Abstract During the African Humid Period (AHP), between ~14 and 5 ka, north and eastern Africa were much wetter and greener than they are today. Although the AHP has long been attributed to an… Expand

Middle Pleistocene vertebrate fossils from the Nefud Desert, Saudi Arabia: Implications for biogeography and palaeoecology
TLDR
An important contribution to the record is described and stratigraphically-constrained fossils of mammals, birds and reptiles from recent excavations at Ti’s al Ghadah in the southwestern Nefud Desert are described, infer that the assemblage reflects mortality in populations of herbivorous animals and their predators and scavengers that were attracted to freshwater and plant resources in the inter-dune basin.

Middle and Late Pleistocene mammal fossils of Arabia and surrounding regions: Implications for biogeography and hominin dispersals
Abstract Plio-Pleistocene faunal turnovers and their implications for hominin dispersals have recently received considerable attention. Exploration and palaeontological study of faunal exchanges has… Expand
Isotopic evidence for an early shift to C4 resources by Pliocene hominins in Chad
TLDR
Carbon isotope data show that Australopithecus bahrelghazali individuals from Koro Toro in Chad are significantly enriched in 13C, indicating a dependence on C4 resources, extending the pattern of C4 dependence seen in Paranthropus boisei in East Africa by more than 1.5 million years. Expand

Stratified Pleistocene vertebrates with a new record of a jaguar-sized pantherine (Panthera cf. gombaszogensis) from northern Saudi Arabia

Hominin Dispersal into the Nefud Desert and Middle Palaeolithic Settlement along the Jubbah Palaeolake, Northern Arabia
TLDR
The discovery of three stratified and buried archaeological sites in the Nefud Desert is described, which includes the oldest dated occupation for the region and stone tool assemblages are identified as a Middle Palaeolithic industry that includes Levallois manufacturing methods and the production of tools on flakes.

Fruits of the forest: Human stable isotope ecology and rainforest adaptations in Late Pleistocene and Holocene (∼36 to 3 ka) Sri Lanka.
TLDR
It is concluded that humans rapidly developed a specialisation in the exploitation of South Asia's tropical forests following their arrival in this region and was supported by the specialised capture of non-human primates. Expand
Middle to Late Pleistocene human habitation in the western Nefud Desert, Saudi Arabia
Abstract The Nefud Desert is crucial for resolving debates concerning hominin demography and behaviour in the Saharo-Arabian belt. Situated at the interface between the Mediterranean Westerlies and… Expand
Aridity and hominin environments
TLDR
It is suggested that changes in the abundance of C4 grass and grazing herbivores in eastern Africa during the Pliocene and Pleistocene may have been decoupled from aridity, and as in modern African ecosystems, other factors, such as rainfall seasonality or ecological interactions among plants and mammals, may be important for understanding the evolution of C 4 grass- and grazer-dominated biomes.

Earliest known hominin activity in the Philippines by 709 thousand years ago
TLDR
Stone tools and a disarticulated and butchered skeleton of Rhinoceros philippinensis, found in a securely dated stratigraphic context, indicate the presence of an unknown hominin population in the Philippines as early as 709 thousand years ago, which pushes back the proven period of colonization of the Philippines by hundreds of thousands of years.
