Ostrich eggshell beads reveal 50,000-year-old social network in Africa

Jennifer M. Miller et al.

Summary: The study suggests that ostrich eggshell bead technology may have originated in eastern Africa and spread southward approximately 50-33 thousand years ago through a regional network, with the connection breaking down around 33 thousand years ago until herders entered southern Africa after 2 thousand years. Climate change may have played a role in shaping human social contact.

Ancient DNA and deep population structure in sub-Saharan African foragers

Mark Lipson et al.

Summary: Genetic and archaeological evidence suggest major demographic changes in sub-Saharan Africa during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene. This study presents ancient DNA data from eastern and south-central Africa, revealing a geographically structured mixture of three highly divergent source populations.

Hunter-gatherer technological organization and responses to Holocene climate change in coastal, lakeshore, and grassland ecologies of eastern Africa

Steven T. Goldstein et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between environmental change and the organization of stone tool technology at the Panga ya Saidi Cave site in eastern Kenya, and compares it with other high-resolution records from nearby areas. The results show that the lithic technologies used in lake basins and coastal zones reflect more stable land-use strategies, while the coastal forest area remains consistent throughout the study period. These findings are important for understanding the adaptations of hunter-gatherers and food producers in eastern Africa and for studying long-term human-environment dynamics.

Genetic substructure and complex demographic history of South African Bantu speakers

Dhriti Sengupta et al.

Summary: Despite linguistic and geographic diversity in South Eastern Bantu-speaking (SEB) groups of South Africa, genetic variation in these groups has not been investigated in depth. The authors analyze genome-wide data from 5056 individuals, providing insights into demographic history across SEB groups.

Human settlement successions and lithic technology in the Kalokol area (west Lake Turkana, Kenya) during the African Humid Period

Amanuel Beyin

Summary: This paper examines human settlement successions and lithic technology in the Kalokol Basin during the African Humid Period. At least six episodes of human settlement were identified, characterized by similar survival strategies and lithic technology including the use of local stone raw materials and production of microliths and flakes. These findings contribute to understanding human adaptive strategies in the Lake Turkana Basin during the African Humid Period.

Lithic technological organization of the Elmenteitan early herders in southern Kenya: Implications for mobility, exchange, and climatic resilience

Steven T. Goldstein

Summary: This study analyzes the lithic technological organization of early pastoralists in southern Kenya, revealing the emergence of new technological strategies based on participation in long-distance obsidian exchange networks and flexible blade production. These technological patterns helped early herders manage environmental unpredictability in eastern Africa.
