Long-Term Climate Factors Led Early Humans Into Patchwork Evolution

RedOrbit: In the past, scientists concluded many of mans defining qualities, such as legs made for walking upright and a large brain, evolved all at once. But according to a new study in the journal Science, shifts in climate caused these qualities to evolve separately. Based on analyses of fossil evidence, the study researchers said the shrinking of forests and expansion of savannas in East Africa led to walking upright, which freed our forebears hands up for the creation and use of stone tools. "Unstable...

Early humans were less primative than previously thought

Telegraph: Early humans were less primitive than previously thought, being able to carry out many of same tasks as man, such as making tools and adapting to the environment, researchers have found. Archaeologists had believed hominids like Australapithecus, which lived between four and two million years ago, were less physically and culturally advanced than early man. It was thought early species like Homo Erectus evolved long limbs, a larger brain and the ability to make tools to cope as the African...

Press Association: After an early spring and summer, the year is now racing towards autumn ahead of schedule, conservationists have said. As the year reached the half-way mark, the National Trust said wildlife seemed to have come through the wettest and stormiest winter on record and nature had hurtled "helter-skelter" through the seasons since. Now signs of autumn are already in the hedgerows and woods, National Trust naturalist Matthew Oates said. "Looking at this year, where does it want to be? It raged...

Climate change prompting Arctic birds to breed early
2014-06-27 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indo-Asian News Service: Earlier spring seasons and snow-melt brought about by climate change are causing migratory birds that breed in the Arctic Alaska to breed sooner, says a study. "It seems clear that the timing of the snow melt in the Arctic Alaska is the most important mechanism driving the earlier and earlier breeding dates we observed in the Arctic," said Joe Liebezeit from Audubon Society of Portland in the US. Researchers looked in nearly 2,500 nests of four shorebird species semi-palmated sandpiper, red phalarope,...
