[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] Late Stone Age human remains from Ishango (Democratic Republic of Congo): New insights on Late Pleistocene modern human diversity in Africa I Crevecoeur, A Brooks, I Ribot, E Cornelissen & P Semal 2016 JHE 96:3557 doi 10.1016/j.jhevol.2016.04.003 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2016.04.003> <http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2016.04.003>Get> ... Here, we present a morphometric comparative analysis of the earliest Late-Pleistocene Hs remains from Ishango (Dem.Rep.Congo). The early Late Stone Age layer (eLSA) of this site (Last Glacial Maximum 2520 Ka) contains >100 fragmentary human remains. The exceptional associated archaeological context suggests: these remains derived from a community of hunter-fisher-gatherers, exhibiting complex social & cognitive behaviors, incl. - substantial reliance on aquatic resources, - development of fishing technology, - possible mathematical notations & - repetitive use of space, likely on a seasonal basis. Comparisons with large samples of Late Pleistocene & early Holocene Hs fossils from Africa & Eurasia show: the Ishango human remains exhibit distinctive characteristics & a higher phenotypic diversity, in contrast to recent African populations. In many aspects, as is true for the inner ear conformation, these eLSA human remains have more affinities with Mid-to-early Late Pleistocene fossils worldwide than with extant local African populations. Cross-sectional geometric properties of the long bones are consistent with archaeological evidence suggesting reduced terrestrial mobility resulting from greater investment in & use of aquatic resources. Our results on the Ishango human remains provide insights into past African Hs diversity & adaptation that are consistent with genetic theories about the deep sub-structure of Late Pleistocene African populations & their complex evolutionary history of isolation & diversification.
