Aspects of human physical and behavioural evolution during the last 1 million years (2019, background): “…Petit et al., 1999; Lambert et al., 2008), aridity and precipitation (e.g. deMenocal, 1995, 2004, 2011), and overall climatic variability (e.g. Potts, 1996, 1998, 2012), and to correlate these trends with notable instances of evolutionary change (Potts, 2013; Shultz and Maslin, 2013; Grove,…”
The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, Ethnography, and the Human Niche (2016, background): “Humans displayed substantial plasticity in behavior and physiology in response to evolutionary pressures across our evolutionary history (Aiello and Anton 2012; Kuzawa and Bragg 2012; Potts 2012; Wells 2012).”
Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “…this based on the need to adapt to rapid environmental changes or heterogeneous environmental conditions (Mellars 2005, Stiner and Kuhn 2006, Potts 2012), to changes in social conditions conducive to social learning (Sterelny 2011), including demographic shifts toward higher population…”
