Modern humans are unique in the vast geographic range we inhabit. However, how, why, and under what conditions humans and our hominin ancestors successfully dispersed and settled throughout the world is still poorly understood, and presents one of the biggest challenges to understanding our evolutionary history. Increasingly sophisticated hominin cognition is assumed to play an important role in major dispersal events but it is unclear what that role is. This dissertation uses a series of agent-based models to explore the close relationship between cognitive complexity, the spatial heterogeneity of the landscape, and dispersal potential and velocity. Since dispersal is the global scale product of local scale mobility, the first agent-based ...
