This book focuses on how climatic change during the last fifteen
million years - especially the last three million - has affected
human evolution and other evolutionary events. Leading
evolutionists and physical geologists from all over the
worldauthorities on such subjects as paleoceanography, palynology,
mammalian paleontology, and paleoanthropology - address the
relationship between climatic and biotic evolution, presenting and
integrating the most up-to-date research in their fields. Among the
subjects discussed are: global and regional climatic changes;
tectonism and its effects on climate; the evolution of biomes and
mammals; the ways climate might have influenced the origins of
hominid species; and the evolution of hominid morphologies and
behaviors. The book draws on the comparatively rich data base of
the Late Neogene and includes many new data sets and hypotheses on
paleoclimatic changes and on floral and mammalian evolution.
