Human Prehistory: Hunting for the Earliest Farmers
The degree to which the spread of farming into Europe was accompanied by demographic shifts is subject to intense debate. Genetic evidence from Europe's first farmers and their hunter-gatherer counterparts now suggests an important role for the immigration of farmers.
متن کاملThe Significance to California Prehistory of the Earliest Mortars and Pestles
At the time of initial contact with European colonists, most California native groups used stone mortars and pestles for milling acorns into flour. The prevalence of these implements in aboriginal California generally reflects the considerable significance of acorns to the aboriginal diet. Mortars and pestles have a long prehistory in California, and as Basgall (1987) has pointed out, their ini...
متن کاملAnimal movements in the Kenya Rift and evidence for the earliest ambush hunting by hominins
Animal movements in the Kenya Rift Valley today are influenced by a combination of topography and trace nutrient distribution. These patterns would have been the same in the past when hominins inhabited the area. We use this approach to create a landscape reconstruction of Olorgesailie, a key site in the East African Rift with abundant evidence of large-mammal butchery between ~1.2 and ~0.5 Ma ...
متن کاملHuman Prehistory: The Message from Linkage Disequilibrium
The vast amount of information being gathered about human DNA sequence variation raises the question of what these data can tell us about events in our past. A new way has been found by which patterns of linkage disequilibrium can be used to detect the effects of natural selection in human prehistory.
متن کاملImmediate replacement of fishing with dairying by the earliest farmers of the northeast Atlantic archipelagos
The appearance of farming, from its inception in the Near East around 12 000 years ago, finally reached the northwestern extremes of Europe by the fourth millennium BC or shortly thereafter. Various models have been invoked to explain the Neolithization of northern Europe; however, resolving these different scenarios has proved problematic due to poor faunal preservation and the lack of specifi...
