Journal Article
A lengthy look at climate and hominin evolution
2022
Overview
[...]researchers from a range of fields, including Earth science, palaeoanthropology and archaeology, have theorized that major habitat changes might have profoundly affected hominin populations by altering the availability of resources, and thereby influencing biological and behavioural pressures2,3. In investigations of habitat variability over millions of years, one of the most notable problems is that terrestrial records of habitat information - such as that obtained from sedimentary outcrops and palaeolake drill cores - are often limited in terms of the time frames of data available. [...]fieldwork to gather such records is geographically biased, with only partial coverage of the regions that hominins inhabited. By contrast, the central eastern African record is viewed as having gaps in the availability of fossils and in archaeological data, suggesting to the authors that this region is less likely to have harboured a gradual species transition or diversification compared with southern Africa.
