Prehistoric teeth dating back 2 million years reveal details on ancient Africa's climate

(University of Toronto) New research out of South Africa's Wonderwerk Cave led by anthropologists at the University of Toronto shows that the climate of the interior of southern Africa almost two million years ago was much wetter than the modern environment. This first extensive paleoenvironmental sequence for the interior of southern Africa suggests that human ancestors were living in environments other than open, arid grasslands known from East African research of the same time period.
