- Abstract:
- We propose a study of the ecological context of the earliest extra-African dispersion events in human evolution. The number and timing of such events remains unclear and contentious, but efforts to assess the reality and patterning of the very earliest movements must consider not only the archaeological and human skeletal evidence within a clearly established chronological framework but also the larger context of human dispersion as one facet of the evolution of the terrestrial mammalian fauna of the Plio-Pleistocene. Arguments for a later Pliocene movement remain unproven but plausible, and the project will consider at least the past 3.0 Myr as a possible time frame for actual and potential biotic contact and movements between Africa and Eurasia.
