The idea of human prehistory was a provocative and profoundly influential new notion that took shape gradually during the nineteenth century. While archaeology played an important role in providing the evidence for this idea many other sciences such as geology, paleontology, ethnology, and physical anthropology all made critical contributions to discussions about human prehistory. Many works ha...

The tails of prehistory probability density in nonlinear multistable stochastic systems driven by white Gaussian noise, which has been a subject of recent study, are analyzed by employing the concepts of nonstationary optimal fluctuations. Results of numerical simulations evidence that the prehistory probability density is non-Gaussian and highly asymmetrical that is an essential feature of noi...

The classical hypothesis proposes that Chagas disease has been originated in the Andean region among prehistoric people when they started domesticating animals, changing to sedentary habits, and adopting agriculture. These changes in their way of life happened nearly 6,000 years ago. However, paleoparasitological data based on molecular tools showed that Trypanosoma cruzi infection and Chagas d...
