TL;DR: The combined evidence suggests that behavioral changes associated with lithic technology and enhanced carnivory may have been coincident with the emergence of the Homo clade from Australopithecus afarensis in eastern Africa.
Abstract: The Hata Member of the Bouri Formation is defined for Pliocene sedimentary outcrops in the Middle Awash Valley, Ethiopia The Hata Member is dated to 25 million years ago and has produced a new species of Australopithecus and hominid postcranial remains not currently assigned to species Spatially associated zooarchaeological remains show that hominids acquired meat and marrow by 25 million years ago and that they are the near contemporary of Oldowan artifacts at nearby Gona The combined evidence suggests that behavioral changes associated with lithic technology and enhanced carnivory may have been coincident with the emergence of the Homo clade from Australopithecus afarensis in eastern Africa

TL;DR: Stone artifacts from the Bose basin, South China, imply that Acheulean-like tools in the mid-Pleistocene of South China imply that Mode 2 technical advances were manifested in East Asia contemporaneously with handaxe technology in Africa and western Eurasia.
Abstract: Stone artifacts from the Bose basin, South China, are associated with tektites dated to 803,000 ± 3000 years ago and represent the oldest known large cutting tools (LCTs) in East Asia Bose toolmaking is compatible with Mode 2 (Acheulean) technologies in Africa in its targeted manufacture and biased spatial distribution of LCTs, large-scale flaking, and high flake scar counts Acheulean-like tools in the mid-Pleistocene of South China imply that Mode 2 technical advances were manifested in East Asia contemporaneously with handaxe technology in Africa and western Eurasia Bose lithic technology is associated with a tektite airfall and forest burning

TL;DR: New radiocarbon dates from the Swabian Jura support the hypothesis that populations of modern humans entered the region by way of the "Danube Corridor" and support the "Kulturpumpe" hypothesis that important cultural innovations of the Aurignacian and Gravettian in Swabia predate similar developments in other regions of Europe.
