Farrell","doi":"10.5206/uwoja.v16i1.8881","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5206/uwoja.v16i1.8881","url":null,"abstract":"Palaeo-ecological modeling is an important part of palaeoanthropology because major habitat changes are associated with significant evolutionary changes. To be able to derive an understanding of as to why Homo ergaster succeeded Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, and Paranthropus boisei we must understand the environmental factors that would have contributed to the evolutionary success of H. ergaster. In the analyses of extant and extinct fauna and flora from the PlioPleistocene and the microwear on hominid tooth remains we can develop an idea of what ecological niches these hominids may have exploited. However, what remains to be uncovered is how they were able to exist sympatrically with such evident dietary overlap. It is thus of utmost importance for palaeoanthropologists and primatologists to collaborate information in order to develop analogies between fossil hominids and extant primates. Potential analogies can be explored between gorillas, chimpanzees, bamboo lemurs and early hominids. Such analogies will aid in the reconstruction of Plio-Pleistocene environments that allow us to answer regarding whether ecological factors influenced initial hominid diversity and eventual extinction. INTRODUCTION The global climate changed drastically throughout the Plio-Pleistocene epochs, running from approximately five million years ago to 10,000 years ago. Formation of glacial ice caps left the African continent cooler, drier, and much more seasonal (Reynolds 2007:528). Hominids were greatly affected by these changes in Africa. Tectonic and volcanic activity as well as the appearance of palaeo-lakes rendered the landscape unrecognizable (Klein 1999: 146). It is important to understand these environmental changes because they affect evolutionary patterns and processes tremendously. The coexistence of H. habilis, H. ergaster, H. rudolfensis, and P. boisei in East Africa during the Plio-Pleistocene marks an evolutionary puzzle. How is it possible that four bipedal hominids were able to live sympatrically in the Koobi Fora region of East Africa? Modeling palaeo-environments based solely on hominid fossil remains is difficult; there are simply too few fossil specimens to be able to derive an understanding of the significant environmental changes that occurred during early hominid existence. Therefore, we must turn our attention to other faunal remains that have been found in abundance, floral remains such as soil, volcanic deposits, and lastly our living relatives, the primates. ANALYSIS OF FLORA AND FAUNAL REMAINS The analysis of floral and faunal remains is of great importance in the reconstruction of palaeo-environments that existed during the Plio-Pleistocene. As seen in Vrba's analysis of African bovid speciation, a causal relationship is evident between climatic changes and macroevolution. A decline in temperature coincides with bovid speciation bursts and this occurs on a similar time scale to the emergence of the genus Homo.
