Little is known of the earliest hominins who crossed Central Asia. Over the last four years, a team on which I am a PI has been working to understand how our ancestors survived in their environments. This paper is the summary of my PhD student Aljasil Chirakkal's thesis. Proud of him!

This study demonstrates that Early Paleolithic hominins of Central Asia preferentially occupied ecologically stable, pedogenically developed zones during interglacial phases, contributing to localized fire regimes and shaping their landscapes. 🇹🇯🔥🌱
