Abstract. The global climate system experienced a series of drastic changes during the Cenozoic. In Asia, these include transformation from zonal pattern to monsoon-dominated pattern, disappearance typical subtropical aridity, and onset inland deserts. Despite major advances in last two decades characterizing understanding phenomena, disagreements persist relative timing, behaviors underlying causes. This paper addresses issues mainly based on lines evidence. First, we compiled newly...
Paleolithic occupation of Tibet Human colonization the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau has generally been thought to have confined past few thousand years Holocene. Zhang et al. report an investigation Nwya Devu archaeological site in central Tibet, 4600 meters above sea level, with dates ∼40 30 ago (see Perspective by and Dennell). The yielded a range stone tools, indicating adaptive ability early modern humans harsh environment “roof world.” findings also suggest that people from Siberia may...
Low- and high-latitude influences have shaped the evolution of Tibetan Plateau climate over past 1.74 million years.
It has recently become clear that several human lineages coexisted with Homo sapiens during the late Middle and Late Pleistocene. Here, we report an archaic fossil throws new light on debates concerning diversification of genus origin H. sapiens. The was recovered in Harbin city northeastern China, a minimum uranium-series age 146 ka. This cranium is one best preserved Pleistocene fossils. Its massive size, large cranial capacity (∼1,420 mL) falling range modern humans, combined mosaic...
Past intervals of warming provide the unique opportunity to observe how East Asia monsoon precipitation response happened in a world. However, available evaluations are primarily limited last glacial-to-interglacial warming, which has fundamental differences from current interglacial particularly changes ice volume. Comparative paleoclimate studies earlier warm periods can more realistic analogs. Here, we present high-resolution quantitative reconstructions temperature and north-central...
Abstract In this study, we investigated the interannual and intraannual variabilities in oxygen isotope composition (δ 18 O) preserved tree ring cellulose of Pinus taiwanensis lower reaches Yangtze River, southeast China, to explore its potential utility for precipitation reconstruction over period 1855–2013. Intraannual variations δ O show distinct annual cycles that are characterized by maxima early growth near boundary minima middle late portions ring. Seasonal patterns were influenced...
Abstract The Bohai Basin was transformed to an inner shelf sea hundreds of thousands years ago. This youngest land-sea transition participated in the significant modification distribution fresh water, sediment fluxes and climate East Asia played important role origin Asian marginal seas. Here we present results a magnetostratigraphic investigation propose conceptual model for transition. Our findings indicate that probably started several million ago, from fluvial system during late Miocene...
The Qinling Mountain range forms an important climate barrier between southern and northern China. Its western part, referred to as the West Qinling, constitutes a unit of northeastern Tibetan Plateau. uplift history during Neogene is still contentious issue. Magnetostratigraphic results from 150-m-thick Xihe loess-soil sequence (NL-VI), located on alluvial highlands surrounding intermontane basin indicate 17 reverse normal magnetozones. They are correlative with interval chron C5n C2Ar in...
Abstract The emergence of Homo sapiens in Eastern Asia is a topic significant research interest. However, well-preserved human fossils secure, dateable contexts this region are extremely rare, and often the subject intense debate owing to stratigraphic geochronological problems. Tongtianyan cave, Liujiang District Liuzhou City, southern China one most important finds H. , though its age has been debated, with chronometric dates ranging from late Middle Pleistocene early Late Pleistocene....
