Climate change and evolving human diversity in Europe during the last glacial.
TL;DR: The results indicate that climate affects population contraction rather than expansion, and the consequences for genetic and cultural diversity which led to the legacy of the Ice Age: a single hominid species, globally distributed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a team of international experts from a wide range of disciplines have worked together to provide a detailed study of the world occupied by the European Neanderthals between 60,000 and 25,000 years ago, providing revolutionary insights into the glacial climate of this period and the landscapes and resources that influenced late Palaeolithic life-styles.

The archaeological and genetic foundations of the European population during the Late Glacial: implications for ‘agricultural thinking’
TL;DR: The authors presented a population history of this sub-continental region by providing a chronologically secure framework for the interpretation of data from genetics and archaeology, and defined five population events in this period, using dates-as-data, and examined the implications for the archaeology of Late Glacial colonization.

TL;DR: The Stage 3 Project as mentioned in this paper was an eight-year effort to study the effects of changes in glacial climate on both Neandertals and anatomically modern humans during Oxygen Isotope Stage 3 (OIS-3).

TL;DR: A series of 31 accelerator mass spectrometry ultrafiltered dates on bones, antlers, artifacts, and teeth from six key archaeological levels shows an unexpected degree of variation, which suggests that some mixing of material may have occurred, which implies a more complex depositional history at the site and makes it difficult to be confident about the association of artifacts with human remains in the Châtelperronian levels.
