This project aims to establish the timing and processes of human settlement in East Asia during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. Through studying a series of key archaeological sites in southwest China using the most recent innovative scientific approaches in luminescence dating, sedimentary DNA and lithic analysis, we expect to provide new insights into the human prehistory of East Asia over the last 300,000 years. This should provide significant contribution to addressing major debates about the timing, rate and route of dispersal of modern humans out of Africa, across south Asia and into Australia.

该项目旨在确定中更新世和晚更新世期间东亚人类定居的时间和过程。通过对中国西南地区一系列重要考古遗址的研究，利用最新的发光测年、沉积物DNA和岩屑分析等创新科学方法，我们希望为东亚过去30万年的人类史前史提供新的见解。这将为解决有关现代人类从非洲、南亚和澳大利亚扩散的时间、速度和路线的重大辩论做出重大贡献。
