Introducing Forests of Plenty: biological, temporal, regional, and methodological diversity in human rainforest adaptations (2016)
In the 1980s, anthropologists argued that tropical rainforests were unattractive environments for long-term human navigation, subsistence and occupation. Yet, far from being pristine ecologies, the rainforests of Africa, Asia, Melanesia, and the Americas are increasingly being shown to have shaped, and been shaped by our species from at least 45,000 years ago, if not earlier. However, in many instances, archaeologists and anthropologists have concluded that early humans were occupying and using...
Late Pleistocene and Holocene Abrupt Climate Change and Human Response in the Southeastern United States (2016)
As a result of the analysis of high-resolution global and regional paleoclimate records, we now know that our “stable” Holocene climate has been punctuated with periods of rapid and synchronous change, including rapid changes in temperature, available moisture, and vegetation. Far from being a period of climatic stability, recent studies suggest abrupt climate change during the Holocene including departures in temperature and precipitation with millennial-scale cyclicity that operates...
Mobility Strategies between the Atacama Desert and the Lípez Highlands during the Late Pleistocene (2016)
One of the main constraints limiting understanding late Pleistocene archaeology in South America is the lack of compatible and standardized datasets from scholars working in neighboring countries. Here, we present interdisciplinary collaborative work for discussing the nature of human mobility between the Pacific Coast, the Atacama Desert and the Lípez Highlands of Chile and Bolivia at 21° S. In an attempt to identify mobility strategies by human populations occupying these drastically different...
A Paleogenetic Perspective on the Early Population History of the High Altitude Andes (2016)
The peopling of the high altitude Andes marks an important episode in South American population history, eventually leading to the formation of the most complex societies of the late pre-Columbian period, namely Wari, Tiwanaku, and Inca. Little is known about how population dynamic processes and genetic adaptation to physical stressors like hypoxia shaped the genetic diversity of the Andean highland populations over the ~10,000 years of human presence in high altitude leading to the emergence of...
Prehistoric Human Adaptation to Tibetan Plateau Environment indicated by 151 site in the Qinghai Lake Basin (2017)
Current study indicates that Northeastern Tibetan Plateau (NETP) is one of the first widely occupied places by prehistoric people on the Tibetan Plateau. This makes NETP very important to understand the human history on the plateau and human adaptation to high elevation environment. Hence, 151 site, a paleo- to Epi-Paleolithic site in the Qinghai Lake basin on NETP, was chosen to excavate. Thousands pieces of animal bones, hundreds pieces of stone artifacts and several possible hearths were...
