Dale Russell traces the evolution of life on land & considers the future for the human species. He argues that a lifeform that has developed the ability to acquire knowledge from experience, to optimize behaviour, to conceptualize & to distinguish good from bad may have a future…

"During the Neogene--covering the last 23 Million years--the evolution of the environmental setting in Africa was subject to considerable changes. Natural shifts, slow and rapid, evidenced by modifications in palaeogeography, geodynamics, climate, and vegetation have caused repe…

It is not so long ago (a mere 17,000 years - a blink in geologic time) that vast areas of the Northern Hemisphere were covered with ice sheets up to two miles thick, lowering the oceans by more than 120 m. By 11,000 years ago, most of the ice was gone. Evidence from polar ice co…
"The Hiscock project, informally called the "Byron Dig," involved the 29-year scientific excavation and study of a site in western New York. The site proved to contain an astonishingly rich trove of fossils and artifacts dating from the late Ice Age to the time of European settl…

The papers focus on late Cenozoic mammals in North America and Africa and provide both site-specific descriptions of faunas and their associated geological contexts, and more general syntheses of regional palaeoenvironments and biogeography.
For more than ten thousand years, Native Americans from Alaska to southern California relied on aquatic animals such as seals, sea lions, and sea otters for food and raw materials. Archaeological research on the interactions between people and these marine mammals has made great…
