Continuous evolutionary change in Plio-Pleistocene mammals of eastern Africa.

abstract：:The archaeological record shows that typically human cultural traits emerged at different times, in different parts of the world, and among different hominin taxa. This pattern suggests that their emergence is the outcome of complex and nonlinear evolutionary trajectories, influenced by environmental, demographic, and...
