“…However, the estimated ages of haplogroups M52'58 and M52a (16.7-24.5 kya) in South Asia 35 and the coalescent ages (CI: 4791-20 587) of the South Asian-FEN group mtDNA association are more recent than the initial colonization of the Asia-Pacific region 37 and the Philippines. 2 This link could therefore be the result of a separate migration that took place after the initial colonization of the region, possibly the same as that inferred in a recent study, which showed Holocene gene flow between India and Australia 5.7 kya. 10 Haplogroup N11b, which is still unique to the Mamanwa FEN group, presents another possible, but more ancient South Asian link that overlaps with the initial colonization of the region.…”

“…First, the Philippine archipelago was connected to the Sunda land mass, 1 which may have facilitated migrations to and/or through the Philippines. Second, Philippine human fossil remains date back to 47-66.7 thousand years ago (kya), 2,3 indicating an ancient occupation. Third, the Filipino population is composed of over 170 Filipino ethnolinguistic (FE) groups with different cultural and demographic backgrounds.…”

“…New discoveries of human bones allowed the continuation of the dating program (see Détroit et al 2004); however, in this brief report no details on the stratigraphie position of the new finds are given, besides their depth in the profile for some of the human remains (Détroit et al 2004:711). Instead, the authors refer to data such as "Square" and "S (surface)," presumably centimeters (?)…”

ABSTRACT. A compilation of direct age determinations for Late Pleistocene human fossils in eastern Europe and Asia is presented in this paper, and current problems with the dating of hominids in these regions are discussed. Only 25 human finds (4 Neanderthals and 21 modern humans) have been directly dated from Pleistocene eastern Europe and Asia. Indirect dating of human remains (using presumably associated organics) often is insecure, especially when information about the exact provenance of human fossils is lacking. Continuation of direct dating of Late Pleistocene humans in Eurasia, primarily with the help of the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) ,4 C method, is therefore an urgent task.

Behavioural Complexity and Modern Traits in the Philippine Upper Palaeolithic

Behavioral modernity has been a widely neglected topic for Southeast Asia’s prehistory. Evidence of modern packages or even traits is basically absent in the Palaeolithic assemblages. This absence has considerably influenced the discussion of hominid behavior and their cultural and cognitive abilities. In a case study on terminal Pleistocene artifacts from Ille Cave on Palawan Island, indications of the presence of several items of the modern trait list, foremost the first evidence of hafted lithic tools and the use of adhesives in the Philippine Palaeolithic, were detected through microwear analysis. The results showed that unretouched and morphologically less characteristic flaked artifacts often considered as mere expedient tools could have served as hafted armatures of multicomponent tools. For the ongoing discussion on the development and expansion of modern behavior, methods like microwear analysis can eliminate some limitations of traditional technological and morphological analysis of lithic assemblages.
