Did pre-Columbian populations of the Amazonian biome reach carrying capacity during the Late Holocene?

Manuel Arroyo-Kalin et al.

Summary: This study examines the population changes in the Amazon basin, the Orinoco basin and the Guianas from 1050 BC to AD 1500 using aggregate analysis methods. The results show that the population growth in these regions adheres to a Logistic model, with significant geographic variations in population changes.

Cultural evolution and prehistoric demography

Sarah Saxton Strassberg et al.

Summary: One prominent feature of human culture is the variation in toolkit size and complexity among different populations, which could be influenced by factors such as population mobility, resource use, environmental volatility, and population size. Researchers have used various methods to study these factors and have found diverse results, leading to debates over the primary influences on toolkit size and composition.

Sometimes hidden but always there: the assumptions underlying genetic inference of demographic histories

Liisa Loog

Summary: Demographic processes have a direct impact on genetic variation within contemporary populations and future generations, allowing for inference about demographic trends from patterns of present-day and past genetic variation. However, genetic processes are stochastic and genetic variation only indirectly reflects demographic histories, thus requiring inferential methods to reconstruct past demographic processes based on model expectations from theoretical population genetics.

Population density and size facilitate interactive capacity and the rise of the state

Paul Roscoe et al.

Summary: This study develops the Power Theory, a formal model of political centralization that examines the impact of population density and size on the interactive capacity of political agents. The research conducted on radiocarbon dates from Peru supports the theoretical expectations of the model, but also reveals an artifact distortion previously unnoticed in SPD research.

Approaching prehistoric demography: proxies, scales and scope of the Cologne Protocol in European contexts

Isabell Schmidt et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a geostatistical approach for estimating prehistoric population size and density, discusses theoretical assumptions and transfer-functions at different spatial scale levels, compares farming and foraging societies, and presents a diachronic series of estimates covering roughly 40 kyr of European prehistory.

Dispersals as demographic processes: testing and describing the spread of the Neolithic in the Balkans

Marc Vander Linden et al.

Summary: This article combines population history and dispersal by investigating changes in speed and population size linked to the new food production economy in South-Eastern Europe during Early Neolithic. The study demonstrates that the spread of farming in this region corresponds to a density-dependent dispersal process. The implications of these findings are discussed within the context of prehistoric demography.

Carrying capacity, population density and the later Pleistocene expression of backed artefact manufacturing traditions in Africa

W. Archer

Summary: Climate variability and population density have influenced human behavioral change in the past and remain contested in the mechanisms of late Pleistocene human behavioral evolution. Backed stone artifacts in Africa show a broad but sporadic distribution, potentially implicating climate change and demography in the expression of cultural complexity in African Pleistocene Homo sapiens.

Demographic uniformitarianism: the theoretical basis of prehistoric demographic research and its cross-disciplinary challenges

Jennifer C. French et al.

Summary: The principle of demographic uniformitarianism is the basis of research in prehistoric demography, suggesting continuity in human demographic processes between past and present. This principle provides a cross-disciplinary foundation for the reconstruction and analysis of ancient populations.

The Neolithic Demographic Transition in the Central Balkans: population dynamics reconstruction based on new radiocarbon evidence

Marko Porcic et al.

Summary: This study uses over 200 new radiocarbon dates to confirm the existence of population growth and decline events in the Central Balkan Early Neolithic. The first episode of population growth may have been driven by both high fertility and migrations, while the second episode was primarily due to high fertility. The causes of population decrease remain unclear.

Late Glacial and Early Holocene human demographic responses to climatic and environmental change in Atlantic Iberia

T. Rowan McLaughlin et al.

Summary: This study reconstructs the long-term demographic patterns of the Iberian region using archaeological and population statistics data, finding that late glacial population growth was hindered by arid conditions, while population size and density increased during the transition from the Early to Middle Holocene, partly due to increased reliance on marine and estuarine food sources.

Directly modelling population dynamics in the South American Arid Diagonal using 14C dates

Demographic estimates from the Palaeolithic-Mesolithic boundary in Scandinavia: comparative benchmarks and novel insights

Victor Lundstrom et al.

Summary: Prehistoric demography has become increasingly important in explaining cultural changes. Most research focuses on temporal changes in population size, with less attention on spatial dynamics. The Cologne Protocol has made strides in addressing this issue, but limitations exist for applying it outside of Europe. This study adjusts the protocol for global applicability and showcases its effectiveness in different regions.

The past, present and future of skeletal analysis in palaeodemography

Why are population growth rate estimates of past and present hunter-gatherers so different?

Miikka Tallavaara et al.

Summary: Estimates of hunter-gatherer population growth rates differ significantly between archaeological and ethnographic sources, with archaeological proxies lacking the resolution to detect actual population dynamics observed in historical and ethnographic data. This suggests that hunter-gatherer populations cannot exhibit long-term growth independently of increasing environmental productivity.

Modifiable reporting unit problems and time series of long-term human activity

A. Bevan et al.

Summary: This paper addresses the construction of long-term time proxies of human activity, focusing on models of population change during the Pleistocene and/or Holocene. It emphasizes the impact of archaeological periodization, uneven event durations, and geographical nucleation-dispersal phenomena, using examples from prehistoric Britain, Greece, and Japan to explore consequences and possible mitigation strategies through reproducible simulations.

Dendrochronological dates confirm a Late Prehistoric population decline in the American Southwest derived from radiocarbon dates

Erick Robinson et al.

Summary: The American Southwest provides a well-documented case of human population growth and decline, with widespread population collapses observed from AD 1300 to 1600. By comparing multiple palaeodemographic proxies and radiocarbon data, researchers confirmed a decline in human populations across various regions, lending confidence to reconstructions suggesting post-AD 1300 population declines in many parts of North America.
