 on on the proposed dispersal routes of Modern Human expansion. Despite the
  importance of the region\, however\, archaeological data from South Asia 
 rarely feature in discussions of human evolution\, and little attempt has 
 been made to bring South Asia's archaeological record to bear on discussio

 Humans in Indian subcontinent\, covering themes of paleolithic progression
 \, genetics\, ecology\, and paleoanthropology.\nSpeaker: Various

DESCRIPTION:In the past several decades\, there have been profound changes 
 in our understanding of the evolutionary history of hominin populations\, 
 with new insights on a range of topics\, such as on the relationship betwe
 en environmental variability and hominin demographic changes and the timin
 g and routes of dispersals from Africa to Asia\, The Indian subcontinent p
 lays a key role in contributing to general theories about our evolutionary
  history given the range of ecosystems and the unique blend of behavoural 
 information. The author has been involved in developing a number of workin
 g hypotheses about the evolution of hominin populations in South Asia from
  primary examination and study of the environmental\, fossil and archaeolo
 gical record. The aim of this presentation is to evaluate the overall reco
 rd of South Asia and to examine how well a series of hypotheses have held 
 up given recent controversies\, debates and new knowledge. New and fresh p
 ropositions are needed to situate the splendid evolutionary record of Sout
 h Asia into our wider evolutionary story.\nSpeaker: Prof Michael Petraglia

DESCRIPTION:Archaeologists contend that it was our aptitude for symbolic\, 
 technological\, and social behaviors that was central to <i>Homo sapiens</
 i> rapidly expanding across the majority of Earth’s continents during th
 e Late Pleistocene. This expansion included movement into extreme environm
 ents and appears to have resulted in the displacement of numerous archaic 
 human populations across the Old World. Tropical rainforests are thought t
 o have been particularly challenging and\, until recently\, impenetrable b

 ow hunting toolkits alongside a complex symbolic repertoire from 48\,000 y
 ears before present at the Sri Lankan site of Fa-Hien Lena—some of the e
 arliest bow-and-arrow technology outside of Africa. As one of the oldest <

 emblage provides the first detailed insights into how our species met the 
 extreme adaptive challenges that were encountered in Asia during global ex

DESCRIPTION:The Wet Zone region of Sri Lanka has provided some of the earli
 est direct evidence of human utilization of rainforest resources anywhere 
 in the world. Stable isotope analysis of human and animal remains\, alongs
 ide detailed zooarchaeological analyses\, have demonstrated reliance on ra
 inforest resources as far back as 48\,000 years ago. In this presentation\
 , I summarize the results of our ongoing research on the fauna remains rec
 overed from excavation of cave sites\, including the results of our new in
 vestigations focusing on faunal remains from the Terminal Pleistocene and 
 Holocene transition\, a transition period which has remained relatively un
 der-explored. Our new data provide important new insights on changes in hu
 man adaptations and the varying niches of exploited fauna through time as 
 well as Early Holocene human mobility (i.e long-distance foraging and/or t
 rade and contact with other groups). Our findings also provide new informa
 tion on human-animal interactions\, including human relationships with now
  regionally extirpated taxa.\nSpeaker: Dr Noel Amano

DESCRIPTION:The Quaternary period\, also known as the "Age of Humans\," is 
 characterized by an abundant fossil record of Homo species around the glob
 e. This period has undergone remarkable changes in global climate\, leadin
 g to the extinction of numerous mammalian species and possibly influencing
  the evolution of Homo species. Although early Homo species' fossil record
 s are absent from the Indian subcontinent\, various stone tools/artefacts 
 discovered from sedimentary deposits of the Quaternary age indicate the pr
 esence of prehistoric humans skilled in tool-making. Based on the morpholo
 gy and typo-technology of excavated artefacts\, it is suggested that prehi
 storic humans in the studied region used Paleolithic to Neolithic tools. H
 owever\, the age of the prehistoric phase is still a matter of curiosity a
 nd needs further investigation. Therefore\, understanding the role of clim
 ate in Homo evolution requires complete control over the age of prehistori
 c phases.\nSpeaker: Dr. Deepak Jha

 decades has shown that microlithic technology was already present in the I

 rer behaviour in the form of microliths. Central India offered abundant re
 sources of the required raw materials\, rock shelters\, open scrubland\, w
 ater bodies\, various flora and fauna in the lap of the Vindhyan and Gondw
 ana ranges. The region must have regularly attracted foragers through its 
 role as a critical biogeographic and cultural crossroads. Microlithic tool

DESCRIPTION:Central Asia comprises the vast expanse of biologically and cul
 turally diverse lands between each of the great centers of agricultural or
 igins. The people in this region linked Eurasia through commerce and the d
 iffusion of technology and ideas. Despite their importance in shaping the 
 modern world\, these peoples are often overlooked in archaeological or his
 torical treaties of the human narrative. For archaeologists working in thi
 s expanse\, these issues of invisibility are primary obstacles to overcome
 . In the effort of understanding the role these ancient peoples played in 
 shaping the cultures of the modern world\, we have pulled together a group
  of top archaeological experts. We are focusing on the question of mobilit
 y\, broadly speaking\, including the diffusion of ideas and the movement o
 f people. Mobility remains a central theme in Central Asian archaeology\, 
 whether discussing mobile pastoralists or merchants on the Silk Road\, mov
 ement has dominated discourse. However\, an increasing awareness of the pr
 ominence of sedentism\, agricultural investment\, and urban development in
  this highly diverse part of the world is raising questions about how to i
 dentify mobility and sedentism in prehistory and early history. In seeking
  to increase the general visibility of Central Asian peoples of the past\,
  we will meet to discuss mobility and sedentism in the archaeological reco
 rd of Central Asia.\nSpeaker: Various
