Patterns of Climate Change Drove Early Human Evolution

Headed by Dr Stefanie Kaboth-Bahr from the University of Potsdam, a scientific consortium has discovered that prehistoric El Niño-like weather patterns were mainly responsible for causing the environmental change in the sub-Saharan African region over the past 620 thousand years—the crucial timeframe for human evolution.
