Faunal persistence and ecological flexibility in Pleistocene Southeast Asia revealed through multi-isotope analysis Open
Southeast Asia boasts some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems, yet it has experienced a dramatic decline in biodiversity due to extensive deforestation in recent decades. Understanding how species adapted to past habitat loss could pro…

Reconstructing the environmental conditions experienced by early modern humans at Tam Pà Ling (northeast Laos) using higher plant wax biomarkers Open
The sediments of Tam Pà Ling (TPL), northeastern Laos, have yielded the earliest evidence of Homo sapiens in mainland Southeast Asia (∼86 ka; marine isotope stage (MIS) 5 b) with a number of skeletal elements having been recovered from the…

Geometric morphometrics and paleoproteomics enlighten the paleodiversity of Pongo Open
Pleistocene Pongo teeth show substantial variation in size and morphology, fueling taxonomic debates about the paleodiversity of the genus. We investigated prominent features of the enamel-dentine-junction junction (EDJ)–phylogenetically i…

Palaeoenvironments and hominin evolutionary dynamics in southeast Asia Open
Secure environmental contexts are crucial for hominin interpretation and comparison. The discovery of a Denisovan individual and associated fauna at Tam Ngu Hao 2 (Cobra) Cave, Laos, dating back to 164–131 ka, allows for environmental comp…

Early presence of Homo sapiens in Southeast Asia by 86–68 kyr at Tam Pà Ling, Northern Laos Open
The timing of the first arrival of Homo sapiens in East Asia from Africa and the degree to which they interbred with or replaced local archaic populations is controversial. Previous discoveries from Tam Pà Ling cave (Laos) identified H. sa…
