What Do Lithics Tell Us About How Pleistocene Hominins Survived?

ABSTRACT Hominin fossils and lithic evidence can, considered together, shed light on major changes in hominin evolution. Correlated changes in hominin fossil and lithic evidence appear at three major inflection points, ca. 3.4, 1.7, and 0.3 Ma. These inflection points mark evolutionarily consequential changes in hominin survival strategies.
