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.
