High-precision radiocarbon dating shows recent and rapid initial human colonization of East Polynesia.
The 15 archipelagos of East Polynesia, including New Zealand, Hawaii, and Rapa Nui, were the last habitable places on earth colonized by prehistoric humans. The timing and pattern of this colonization event has been poorly resolved, with chronologies varying by >1000 y, precluding understanding of cultural change and ecological impacts on these pristine ecosystems. In a meta-analysis of 1,434 r...

The precipitation climatology and the underlying climate mechanisms of the eastern Mediterranean, West Asia, and the Indian subcontinent are reviewed, with emphasis on upper and middle tropospheric flow in the subtropics and its steering of precipitation. Holocene climate change of the region is summarized from proxy records. The Indian monsoon weakened during the Holocene over its northernmost...
متن کاملCulture and climate: reconsidering the effect of palaeoclimatic variability among Southern California hunter- gatherer societies
The significance of palaeoclimatic change in the emergence of sociopolitical complexity among maritime hunter-gatherers in southern California has been an active subject of debate over the past fifteen years. Interpretations on the timing and nature of palaeoenvironmental change and its relationship to cultural change have shifted as new high-resolution climate records have been reported. I pro...
متن کاملNatural solutions to climate change
Fifty years ago, humans harboured the hubristic idea that they could alter the weather and climate to their advantage, perhaps to prevent future ice ages or to induce rainfall in drought-stricken regions. these high-flying hopes were eventually doused by reality; today, we have the more humble objective of merely keeping the climate stable—in particular, mitigating the impact of greenhouse gase...
متن کاملAn evolutionary framework for cultural change: selectionism versus communal exchange.
Dawkins' replicator-based conception of evolution has led to widespread mis-application of selectionism across the social sciences because it does not address the paradox that necessitated the theory of natural selection in the first place: how do organisms accumulate change when traits acquired over their lifetime are obliterated? This is addressed by von Neumann's concept of a self-replicatin...
