En la actualidad África del Sur es el escenario donde más cerca se está de responder sobre los vasos comunicantes entre lo cultural y lo biológico a través de campañas arqueológicas internacionales que van encontrando contextos más amplios para explicar los cambios.

new methods and approaches to the fossil record
Something like this might work..? You could even get away with repeating "new", in my opinion — "new methods and new approaches..."

You're welcome, Eleanor. Quite a tough text you've got there! That last bit is for indicative purposes only, it's the underlined part I'm suggesting.
