Following Pleistocene road signs of human dispersals across Eurasia (2013, background): “The “demographic hypothesis” (Toth and Schick, 1993; Henrich, 2004; Lycett, 2007) is based on the observation that hominins carrying Oldowan tool types left Africa during the Lower Pleistocene, reached East and SE Asia, and were then culturally cut-”
On the relationship between interindividual cultural transmission and population-level cultural diversity: a case study of weaving in Iranian tribal populations (2009, unknown): “…(e.g., Buchanan & Collard, 2007, 2008; Collard et al., 2006; Coward, Shennan, Colledge, Conolly, & Collard, 2008; Jordan & Shennan, 2003; Lycett, 2007, 2009; Lycett & Collard, 2005; Lycett et al., 2007; O'Brien et al., 2001; O'Brien & Lyman, 2003; RobsonBrown, 1996; Shennan & Collard,…”
A demographic model for Palaeolithic technological evolution: The case of East Asia and the Movius Line (2010, methodology): “…cladistic analyses of Palaeolithic Old World assemblages have confirmed the phylogenetic propinquity of Acheulean and Levallois technologies (Lycett, 2007), thus supporting the case that where there is an absence of a strong bifacial tradition within a given region, Levallois techniques are…”
