Comparison with other African δDwax records. a Mean JJA insolation at 10° N. b Gulf of Guinea δDwax from core GeoB4905-4 (based on the C29 n-alkane; ice-volume and vegetation adjusted; this study). c Gulf of Aden δDwax (based on the C30 fatty acid; ice-volume adjusted) from core P178-15P4. d Lake Victoria δDwax (based on the C28 fatty acid; ice volume adjusted)30. e Lake Tana δDwax (based on the C28 fatty acid; ice volume adjusted)31. f Lake Tanganyika δDwax (based on the C28 fatty acid; ice volume and vegetation adjusted)33. g Lake Bosumtwi δDwax (based on the C31 n-alkane; ice volume and vegetation adjusted)[10]. Shadings indicate 68 and 95% uncertainty bounds, including analytical and age uncertainty. Thick lines represent Ruppert-Sheather-Wand smooth: rate of change (‰ kyr−1) in b and c is based on this smooth
