Patterns of Climate Change Drove Early Human Evolution Written by AZoCleantechJun 1 2021 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. Today a saline mudflat, the Chew Bahir Basin in southern Ethiopia once held an extensive paleo-lake during humid phases. Scientific deep drilling from the current playa surface produced a ~620,000-year long sedimentary record providing insights into the intense shifts of eastern Africa’s highly variable hydroclimate.
