• Absence of post‐Miocene Red Sea land bridges: biogeographic implications (2006, background): “…one into the Levant 130,000–100,000 years ago attested by the Skhul and Qafzeh burials (Grün et al., 2005), mostly determined by glacial– interglacial environmental instability and local appearance of behavioural novelties (Lahr & Foley, 1998; Harpending & Rogers, 2000; McBrearty & Brooks, 2000).”
• Coastal South Africa and the Coevolution of the Modern Human Lineage and the Coastal Adaptation (2011, background): “2004), and the development of complex technologies (McBrearty and Brooks 2000) that signal the unique ability of humans”
• Behavioral Ecology and Archaeology (2006, background): “…art, ornament, or the stylistic aspects of artifacts, to communicate information about themselves and/or their social milieu, a practice widely identified as the essential archaeological diagnostic of modern human cognitive and behavioral capability (e.g., Klein, 2000; McBrearty and Brooks, 2000).”
• An Evolutionary Anthropological Perspective on Modern Human Origins (2015, background): “Many traits were shown to appear earlier than 40 ka in Africa (McBrearty & Brooks 2000).”
• Reply to comments. Two Key Steps in the Evolution of Human Cooperation: The Interdependence Hypothesis (2012, background): “…Paleolithic Eurasia (see, e.g., Chase and Dibble 1987) is contested: symbolic behavior and marking may have much earlier roots in middle Stone Age Africa, as evidenced, for example, by burial remains and potentially symbolic use of red ochre pigment for symbolic marking (McBrearty and Brooks 2000).”
• Ecological dominance, social competition, and coalitionary arms races: Why humans evolved extraordinary intelligence. (2005, background): “The Upper Paleolithic/Late Stone Age bcreative explosion,Q continuing a long tradition, has generated an unparalleled expansion of information and individual expression, albeit within the restraints of collective meaning (Caspari & Lee, 2004; Henshilwood & Marean, 2003; McBrearty & Brooks, 2000).”
• On the earliest evidence for habitual use of fire in Europe (2011, background): “For much later periods, a greater control and more extensive use of fire is seen by some (12, 13) as one of the behavioral innovations that emerged in Africa among modern humans, favoring their spread throughout the world and their eventual evolutionary success.”
