Homo Sapiens Demonstrate Unique Tropical Forest Adaptation
Tropical forest environments apparently provided the cradle for the emergence of early hominins in Africa as well as a habitat for the continued survival of our closest living relatives, the great apes.However, while the important early role of tropical forests in human evolution has been recognized, forest adaptations tend to be eclipsed in later evolutionary narratives, including the emergence of the genus Homo and the expansion of Homo species across the globe.
Dr. Patrick Roberts, Prof. Nicole Boivin, and Prof. Michael Petraglia, alongside international collaborators, reviewed the palaeoenvironmental and archaeological evidence for the use and occupation of tropical forests by different species of Homo. It was found that early Homo in Africa and Homo erectus and Homo floresiensis in Southeast Asia currently show no direct evidence for having interacted significantly with tropical forest resources.
