Murdock’s reconstruction (1959); its importance in Africa as a food is, however, much less than that of banana. Like banana, taro leaves are used as a food wrapping. Even when not being cultivated, taro is often found growing feral by human settlements, presumably as a relic of past cu...
barley or their direct relatives are native to the region, these cereal pathogens have been introduced from outside. While leaf rust reached Australia as early as 1825 (McAlpine1895, cited after Kolmer et al.2019), yellow rust first appeared in eastern Australia...
Indeed, human arrival could reflect changes in agricultural practice and land modification (widespread land clearance and domesticated plants are more often associated with later human settlements)99, changes in hunting preferences, technologies and efficiency (e.g., use of bows, arrows, and spears; ...
This may be linked to the fact that this species is mostly associated with settlements and therefore, the most frequently encountered and available species. Additionally, there may be some uncertainty in the identification of the rarer species (see above) which renders it difficult to interpret ...
During the last 1.0 ka of occupation, communities experienced deep changes that led to greater homogeneity in pottery designs, less mobility, larger and more stable settlements, animal husbandry, and formal cemeteries (Falabella et al., 2016). By 0.55 ka, this area became the southernmost ...
(northwestern Thailand), dated between 34,000 and 12,000 years ago, has yielded evidence of Hoabinhian lithic assemblages and natural resource use by hunter-gatherer societies. To understand the process of early settlements of highland areas, we measured stable carbon and oxygen isotope compositions...
The active population in the present sample was within a range of 1 to 77, 411. In the case of the bigger settlements (population over 10, 000), the 1/xfunction assigned so much importance to the large number of inhabitants that those settlements completely dominated the rest of the settle...

Our findings, therefore, represent the heterogeneity of Remote Oceanian populations due to their long history of expansions and settlements, which is reflected by their complex population structure (Supplementary Fig. 1) and GPS predictions (Fig. 6). Fine-scale biogeography down to home village. ...
