早更新世（2.58 ~ 0.78 Ma）是古人类谱系发生重大进化变化的时期。两足运动的逐渐巩固，以及颅脑容量和行为灵活性的增加，使早期猿人能够在东非及其他地区不断变化的景观中利用日益多样化的资源和环境。考虑到记录的技术多样性，特别是在Oldowan-Acheulean过渡期间，这些复杂的过程不一定是线性的或空间上均匀的。本文认为，从考古遗址的数量、规模、密度和分布来看，人类在1.7 - 1.5 Ma之间经历了相当大的人口扩张。这些模式是高产动物资源开发策略、技术投资、亲社会行为以及日益结构化的土地利用模式相互作用的结果。更为巩固的人族人口结构导致了大型同域食肉动物物种的灭绝，而更大的群体规模则会导致更成功的走出非洲。
The Early Pleistocene (2.58–0.78 Ma) was a period of major evolutionary changes in the hominin lineage. The progressive consolidation of bipedal locomotion, alongside increases in cranial capacity and behavioural flexibility, allowed earlyHomoto exploit an increasing diversity of resources and environmental settings within the changing landscapes of East Africa and beyond. These complex processes were not necessarily linear or spatially uniform, given the technological diversity documented, particularly during the Oldowan–Acheulean transition. In this paper, we argue that human populations experienced a considerable demographic expansion fromc.1.7–1.5 Ma onwards, expressed in the number, size, density, and distribution of archaeological sites. These patterns resulted from the interplay of high-yielding animal resource exploitation strategies, technological investment, prosocial behaviours as well as increasingly structured land use patterns. A more consolidated hominin demographic structure led to the extinction of large sympatric carnivore species, while larger group sizes would have led to more successful Out-of-Africa dispersals.
