• First record of avian extinctions from the Late Pleistocene and Holocene of Timor Leste 

      Meijer, Hanneke; Louys, Julien; O'Connor, Sue (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Timor has yielded the earliest evidence for modern humans in Wallacea, but despite its long history of modern human occupation, there is little evidence for human-induced Late Pleistocene extinctions. Here, we report on ...

      Stewart, Mathew; Clark-Wilson, Richard; Breeze, Paul S; Janulis, Klint; Candy, Ian; Armitage, Simon James; Ryves, David B.; Louys, Julien; Duval, Mathieu; Price, Gilbert J; Cuthbertson, Patrick; Bernal, Marco A.; Drake, Nick A; Alsharekh, Abdullah; Zahrani, Badr; Al-Omari, Abdulaziz; Roberts, Patrick; Groucutt, Huw S.; Petraglia, Michael D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The nature of human dispersals out of Africa has remained elusive because of the poor resolution of paleoecological data in direct association with remains of the earliest non-African people. Here, we report hominin and ...

    • No evidence for widespread island extinctions after Pleistocene hominin arrival 

      Louys, Julien; Braje, Todd J.; Chang, Chun-Hsiang; Cosgrove, Richard; Fitzpatrick, Scott M.; Fujita, Masaki; Hawkins, Stuart; Ingicco, Thomas; Kawamura, Ai; MacPhee, Ross D.

      The arrival of modern humans into previously unoccupied island ecosystems is closely linked to widespread extinction, and a key reason cited for Pleistocene megafauna extinction is anthropogenic overhunting. A common ...
