Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The wave-of-advance model has previously been applied to Neolithic human range expansions, yielding good agreement to the speeds inferred from archaeological data. Here it is applied for the first time to Palaeolithic human expansions by using reproduction and mobility parameters appropriate to hunter-gatherers (instead of the corresponding values for preindustrial farmers). The order of magnitude of the predicted speed is in agreement with that implied by the AMS radiocarbon dating of the late-glacial human recolonisation of northern Europe (14.2--15.5 kyr BP). The authors argue that this makes it implausible for climate change to have limited the speed of the recolonisation front. It is pointed out that a similar value for the speed can be tentatively inferred from the archaeological data on the expansion of modern humans into the Levant and Europe (42--36 kyr BP). | |||||||||
