Hostile climate during the Last Glacial Maximum caused sparse vegetation on the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau

Xianyong Cao et al.

Summary: In this study, a sediment core from Koucha Lake on the Tibetan Plateau was analyzed to investigate vegetation history and hydrology changes during the Last Glacial Maximum. The study revealed that alpine desert and steppe were dominant during different periods, and the lake went through changes in water level and existence. The importance of considering pollen concentration and the limitations of comparing pollen percentages were highlighted.

Human genetic history on the Tibetan Plateau in the past 5100 years

Hongru Wang et al.

Summary: By analyzing the genome-wide data of 89 ancient individuals from 29 sites on the Tibetan Plateau, it was discovered that the plateau populations have distinct ancestral lineage and high genetic diversity prior to 2500 B.P. There was evidence of rapid admixture with millet farmers in the Gonghe Basin by 4700 B.P., and population expansion along the Yarlung Tsangpo River since 3400 years ago. Extensive genetic admixture has occurred within the plateau historically, with significant gene flow from lowland East Asia in the past 700 years. The adaptive EPAS1 allele for high-altitude living was found as early as 5100 years ago.

Paleoproteomic evidence reveals dairying supported prehistoric occupation of the highland Tibetan Plateau

Li Tang et al.

Summary: This study analyzes ancient proteins from dental calculus of individuals living in the Tibetan Plateau, and shows that dairy pastoralism began around 3500 years ago. The study suggests that dairy played a critical cultural role in supporting the expansion of early pastoralists into agriculturally poor regions and enabled widespread human occupation in the highlands.

Biome reconstruction on the Tibetan Plateau since the Last Glacial Maximum using a machine learning method

Feng Qin et al.

Summary: This study developed a pollen-based biome classification model using a random forest algorithm, which proved to be more accurate and suitable for reconstructing alpine biome changes on the Tibetan Plateau compared to the biomisation method. The reconstructed biome distribution changes corresponded to global climate changes and Asian monsoon variations.

Denisovans and Homo sapiens on the Tibetan Plateau: dispersals and adaptations

Peiqi Zhang et al.

Summary: Recent archaeological and genetic studies suggest early occupation of the Tibetan Plateau by both archaic Denisovans and Homo sapiens, with Denisovan genetic introgression aiding Tibetan populations in adapting to high-altitude environments. Two testable models are proposed to address human settlement on the plateau in the broader context of Homo sapiens dispersal and interactions with Denisovans in Asia.

Prehistoric agricultural decision making in the western Himalayas: ecological and social variables

Li Tang et al.

Summary: This study presents archaeobotanical evidence from western Tibet, revealing the development of agriculture in the high-altitude landscape. The data indicate that barley was widely grown in this region around 400 BC and played different roles based on local ecological constraints. Additionally, social diversity may have played a role in the development of high-altitude agriculture.

Diet, Mobility, Technology, and Lithics: Neolithization on the Andean Altiplano, 7.0-3.5 ka

Nathaniel Kitchel et al.

Summary: The process of Neolithization involved domestication, sedentarization, and technology change, occurring in various combinations at different times and places globally. A study in the Lake Titicaca Basin in Peru suggests that the strongest signal in lithic technology change is related to the introduction of archery technology, with signals for subsistence change and declining mobility being relatively weak. The findings indicate an early adoption of archery technology in the Terminal Archaic Period, with major transitions in mobility and diet likely occurring subsequently.

New evidence from the Qugong site in the central Tibetan Plateau for the prehistoric Highland Silk Road

Yu Gao et al.

Summary: This study highlights the significance of the Tibetan Plateau in prehistoric food globalization through the examination of the Qugong site, revealing the diverse plant remains and potential sources of grains in the central Tibetan Plateau. It suggests that millets in the region may have originated from the eastern Tibetan Plateau, while wheat and barley likely came from northern South Asia, indicating the complex intercultural exchanges that occurred in prehistory in the region.

Farming and multi-resource subsistence in the third and second millennium BC: archaeobotanical evidence from Karuo

Jixiang Song et al.

Summary: Archaeobotanical studies at the Karuo site in eastern Tibet have shed light on the early farming practices and subsistence strategies of the inhabitants in the region. The cultivation of millet was possibly practiced at the site from 2700 to 2100 cal. BC, before transitioning to wheat cultivation. In addition to farming, evidence of foraging, hunting, and fishing activities suggests a diverse subsistence strategy that may have contributed to the long-term occupation of the site.

Moisture and vegetation variations in the extremely cold-dry area of the Tibetan Plateau during the past 5000 years

Teng Xu et al.

Summary: The study found that the central-northern Tibetan Plateau experienced relatively warm and humid climate conditions over the past 5000 years, followed by a gradual aridification, influenced by the Indian Summer Monsoon and Westerlies. Additionally, four drought intervals and two relatively cold periods were identified.

Earliest parietal art: hominin hand and foot traces from the middle Pleistocene of Tibet

David D. Zhang et al.

Summary: A series of intentionally placed hand and foot impressions were discovered on soft travertine at Quesang on the Tibetan Plateau, indicating the involvement of two likely child track-makers in creating what is believed to be the earliest example of parietal art in the world. This finding also provides the earliest evidence of hominins on the High Tibetan Plateau.

New evidence of long-distance interaction across the Himalayas: Faience beads from Western Tibet

Shiyuan Cao et al.

Summary: Faience beads excavated from the Gebusailu site in western Tibet date back to the second half of the 2nd millennium BC, providing evidence for cross-regional exchange in prehistoric western Tibet. Analyzed samples indicated that the beads were possibly soda-rich faience with colorant from pure copper ore or scrap. It is suggested that these beads may have been imported from Egypt or other regions influenced by Egyptian faience production technology.
