Extended Data Fig. 6: Distribution and cross-correlation of climatic variables.
From: Major expansion in the human niche preceded out of Africa dispersal
a, Distribution of climatic variables in the archaeological occurrences through time versus the whole continent (background). Climate: Beyer et al.57 with added Heinrich events. b, Cross-correlation of climatic variables (dataset: Beyer et al.57 with added Heinrich events) for H. sapiens occurrences. The lower-left triangle shows the scatter plot between pairs of variables. The upper-right triangle contains the numerical values of the cross-correlations, with bigger sizes corresponding to larger distance from 0. The asterisks in each cell represent the level of significance of the corresponding value.
