Climate Change Spurred Human Evolution

[slowhand]

A drastic shift in the tropical African climate many thousands of years ago may have given a significant push to early human evolution, a new study says.


Before about 70,000 years ago, the climate in parts of Africa was wildly variable, with extreme droughts occasionally completely drying up lakes and killing off many plant and animal populations.

Interesting read and just more evidence that flies in the face of creationists view of how man came to be.
