This project explores the evolutionary history of early humans and their adaptation to diverse environments. By analyzing geological and fossil records, it aims to understand how climatic changes influenced human dispersal and the development of behavioral flexibility in different habitats.
Modern humans are unique in their ability to adapt to, and to thrive in, different environments.
This trait facilitated their dispersal out-of-Africa to higher latitudes, i.e. to temperate and seasonal habitats, during the Pleistocene.
However, there are Plio-Pleistocene hominins at higher latitudes in South Africa (SA) from ~3.7Ma onwards.
Did human behavioural/physiological flexibility evolve early in our evolutionary history?
Alternatively, did Pliocene hominins occupy such temperate zones du…
