(a) Chinese caves δ18O records (left ordinate axis, ‰ VPDB International Standard Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite) showing millennial-scale climate shifts related to changes in East Asian summer monsoon intensity for the last 224 ka (black line) published in 2008 by Wang et al.75. Numbers refer to the marine isotope stages and substages. The right ordinate axis corresponds to the Northern Hemisphere summer insolation (red line) (65°N, W m−2). (b) Histograms of faunas showing the distribution of δ13Ccarbon source values of specimens associated with each biome (Supplementary Table S5). (c) Age ranges of faunas: Tam Ngu Hao (Cobra) Cave (MIS 6.3, 164–131 ka) analyzed herein, Coc Muoi (MIS 6.2, 148–117 ka), Tam Hang South (MIS 5, 94–60 ka), Nam Lot (MIS 5, 86–72 ka), Duoi U’Oi (MIS 4, 70–60 ka) and Tam Hay Marklot (MIS 3–2, 38.4–13.5 ka). (d) Occurrence of hominins in the region, Denisovan (Cobra Cave, 164–131 ka), Homo sp. (Duoi U’Oi, 70–60 ka) and H. sapiens (Tam Pà ling, 86–43 ka)
