Hominin morphological and behavioral variation in eastern Asia and Australasia: Current perspectives

摘要

The nature of hominin morphological and behavioral patterning in eastern Eurasia and Australasia is being investigated intensively. Because of the many debates surrounding a number of paleoanthropo-logical and archaeological sites from this region, we felt the time was right to assemble a series of papers that presented new ideas and data from the region. The major conclusion that one can draw from the assortment of papers compiled here is that much new research is being conducted in eastern Asia and Australasia that are welcome additions to the scientific literature.
