New Research Alert | Upper Palaeolithic Mongolia
How did humans survive one of the harshest environments on Earth 45,000 years ago?
A new study by Robin Dennell, Masami Izuho and Linda Hurcombe explores how droughts, deadly winters (dzuds), scarce animal fat, and extreme climatic variability shaped human life across the Mongolian steppe.
From seasonal hunting grounds to long-distance exchange networks, the steppe was not just a place of survival, it was a dynamic contact zone connecting people, ideas, and innovation across Inner Asia.
❄️ Climate resilience
🏹 Mobile hunter-gatherers
🐎 Steppe megafauna & migration
🔥 Adaptation in extreme environments
