So far, the demographic procedures – glossy human inhabitants sizes, distributions and hobbies – that happened inside Africa in this serious interval were always under-addressed.

The authors of this quantity goal at (1) reading the impression of this glacial-interglacial- glacial cycle on human workforce sizes, routine and distributions all through Africa; (2) investigating the macro- and micro-evolutionary strategies underpinning our species’ anatomical and behavioral evolution; and (3) surroundings an schedule wherein Africa can reap the benefits of, and finally give a contribution to, the more and more subtle theoretical and methodological palaeodemographic frameworks constructed on different continents.
