Technological responses of Neanderthals to macroclimatic variations (240,000-40,000 BP).

Human biology - 1 Apr 2009

Bocquet-Appel Jean-Pierre, Tuffreau Alain

Abstract excerpt

Using a database of 499 archaeological assemblages from 332 sites in Europe, we statistically test a model of the economic reactivity of the hunter-gatherer production system to climatic variations. This model predicts an increase in the diversity of lithic tools during harsh cold periods, in order to maintain carrying capacity, and a reduction during favorable climatic periods. Diversity was measured from the...
