- Archaeologists find 300,000-year-old stone tools in Saudi Arabia, which at the time was a grassland dotted with lakes. Findings will help anthropologists better understand the role of environment—and the ability to adapt to challenging new landscapes—in shaping human evolution and global expansion. https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/10/archaeologists-find-300000-year-old-stone-tools-in-saudi-arabia/ 10 comments science
- The evolution of modern human brain shape. 300k years ago, brain size in early H. sapiens already fell within the range of present-day humans. Brain shape, however, evolved gradually within the H. sapiens lineage, reaching present-day human variation between about 100k and 35k years ago. http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/1/eaao5961.full 14 comments science
