General Synopsis of the five-part Adventure Series reveals that the
flow of hominid evolution has always been episodic rather than
gradual. Due to some unpredictable perturbations in the global
climate, during the late Pliocene, the African landmass witnessed a
dramatic shrinkage of habitable woodlands, which induced the early
humans living there to adapt or face extinction. The record shows
that they not only succeeded but also flourished, by displaying
true innovation, superior cognitive skills and an imaginative
manipulation of their habitat. physical adaptations that are
unfortunately no longer found in any primate species living today.
They were neither as talented in the trees as the great apes nor as
facile on terra firma as us humans. fossil evidence, there are many
ways to be a hominid and that our way is just one of them. As
pointed out earlier, the hominid evolutionary history has not been
one of gradual continuous improvement but quite sporadic at best
throughout the past four million years. represent just one of the
many twigs on the prickly bush of hominid evolution. We are
definitely not the sole occupants of a pedestal, which all other
primates have aspired to but failed to reach.
