2.2 Periodic distribution models
Four different evolutionary development distribution models were
analyzed: 1 ) the Last Interglacial Period (LIG,
~140,000 – 120,000), featured by modern humans
(Homo sapiens ) starting the noticeable expansion and
impacting environments (Hershkovitz et
al., 2018; Harvati et al., 2019),
progressively accelerated since then
(Cavalli-Sforza et al., 1993);2 ) the Last Glacial Maximum period (LGM, 22,–00 - 19,000), the
Late Pleistocene in which macaques reached their maximum booming on the
continent (Li et al., 2020;
Zhang et al., 2022). It was in the ice
age (Clark et al., 2009), covering vast
land, causing remarkable vegetation disappearance, and expanding deserts
(Hou et al., 2018); 3 ) the
recent profiles in the Holocene, from 1970 to 2000; and 4 )
future distribution scenarios in the 2050s.
