Although it is widely accepted that modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) can trace their African origins to 150-200 kilo years ago (kya) (recent African origin model; Henn et al, 2012; Ingman et al, 2000; Poznik et al, 2013; Weaver, 2012), an alternative model suggests that the diverse populations of our species evolved separately on different continents from archaic human forms (multiregional ...

Research objectives: To analyze the processes behind formation and development of Tatar ethnopolitical community in Ulus Jochi XIII–XV centuries. materials: The author article examines a variety sources that reflect progressive during Results novelty research: Tatars Jochid centuries were usually studied from socio-political point view, with little attention being paid to study mental structure...

A synthetic analysis of molecular, fossil and biogeographical data gives a remarkably consistent scenario for the evolution of the catarrhine primates - the hominoids and Old World monkeys. This analysis supports the African location of the common ancestor of the Old World monkeys, and suggests that the Asian colobine monkeys and macaques dispersed out of Africa into Eurasia within the past ten...

From northeastern Eurasia to the Americas, a three-stage spread of modern humans is considered through large-scale intermittence (exploitation/relocation). Conceptually, this work supports intermittence as a real strategy for colonization of new habitats. For the first stage, northeastern Eurasia travel, we adapt our model to archaeological dates determining the diffusion coefficient (exploitat...

Thermopsideae has 45 species and exhibits a series of interesting biogeographical distribution patterns, such as Madrean-Tethyan disjunction and East Asia-North America disjunction, with a center of endemism in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (QTP) and Central Asia. Phylogenetic analysis in this paper employed maximum likelihood using ITS, rps16, psbA-trnH, and trnL-F sequence data; biogeographical ...

The timings of the onset oceanic spreading, subduction and collision are crucial in plate reconstructions, but not always straightforward to resolve. Paleo-Tethys evolution dominated Paleozoic-Early Mesozoic tectonics West Asia, timeline events is still poorly constrained. We present new detrital zircon ages from Binalud Mountains NE Iran, order determine timing tectonic region, wider implicati...

Emerging drought stress on vegetation over western Eurasia is linked to varying teleconnection patterns. The North Sea–Caspian Pattern (NCP) a relatively less studied Eurasian pattern, which has role conditions and the consequence of changing vegetation. Between 1981 2015, we found that Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) Normalized Difference Vegetation (NDVI) have different trend patterns ...
