Abstract Zircon dating is commonly used to quantify timescales of magmatic processes, but our appreciation of the consequences of internal magma body dynamics lags behind ever-increasing analytical capabilities. In particular, it has been shown that crystal accumulation and melting of cumulates by recharge-delivered heat may affect melt chemistry within magma bodies. We considered the effect of such processes on zircon solubility in highly evolved silicate melts of diverse chemical affinities. Our modeling shows that in most cases cumulate melting perpetuates the zircon saturation behavior of the first melts emplaced at shallow storage levels. Once cumulate melting is established, the ease of saturating in zircon is controlled by cumulate mineralogy, with a particular effect of the amount of cumulate zircon and its availability for resorption. The fidelity of zircon as a recorder of magma system history thus depends on both the system’s chemical affinity and mineralogy, and the history itself.

Abstract The prehistoric demography of human populations is an essential piece of information for illustrating our evolution. Despite its importance and the advancement of ancient DNA studies, our knowledge of human evolution is still limited, which is also the case for relatively recent population dynamics during and around the Holocene. Here, we inferred detailed demographic histories from 1 to 40 ka for 24 population samples using an improved model-flexible method with 36 million genome-wide noncoding CpG sites. Our results showed many population growth events that were likely due to the Neolithic Revolution (i.e., the shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture and settlement). Our results help to provide a clearer picture of human prehistoric demography, confirming the significant impact of agriculture on population expansion, and provide new hypotheses and directions for future research.
