ANT101H5 Chapter Notes - Chapter 11: Sub-Saharan Africa, Upper Paleolithic, Pleistocene
Document Summary
Most of the hominins discussed in this chapter lived during the middle pleistocene: the portion of the pleistocene epoch beginning 780,000 ya and ending 125,000 ya. Some of the later premodern humans lived well into the late pleistocene: the portion of the pleistocene beginning 125,000 ya and ending approximately. Viewed archaeologically, this chapter addresses all of the middle paleolithic: cultural period that began about 200,000 ya and ended around 40,000-30,000 ya. Roughly the same period in sub-saharan africa is called the middle stone age. Best known from western europe; similar industries are also known from central and eastern europe and africa. The pleistocene: called the ice age, because it was marked by periodic advances and retreats of massive continental glaciations. Climatic intervals when continental ice sheets cover much of the northern continents. Glaciations are associated with colder temperatures in northern latitudes and more and conditions in southern latitudes most notably in.
