The climate and vegetation backdrop to hominin evolution in Africa

William D. Gosling et al.

Summary: The most profound shift in the African hydroclimate occurred around 300 thousand years ago, possibly due to the tropical Walker Circulation and sea surface temperature change. Both vegetation and hominin evolution changed around this time, with vegetation resources shifting from western to eastern Africa. These changes likely presented challenges for hominins and coincided with the emergence of Homo sapiens and Middle Stone Age technology.

A stronger role for long-term moisture change than for CO2 in determining tropical woody vegetation change

William D. Gosling et al.

Summary: This study explores the relative importance of six drivers of vegetation change in western Africa over the past 500,000 years by combining past environmental change data from Lake Bosumtwi in Ghana with global data. The results show that moisture availability and fire activity were the most important factors in determining woody cover, while the effect of CO2 was small.

A million year vegetation history and palaeoenvironmental record from the Lake Magadi Basin, Kenya Rift Valley

Veronica M. Muiruri et al.

Summary: The pollen record from Lake Magadi in the south Kenya Rift Valley shows a trend of increasing aridity over the past 740,000 years, with intermittent wetter intervals. Grassland, woodland, and herbaceous plants dominated at different times, with forest expansion and contraction during the Quaternary. Different responses to the same climate and contrasting climate regimes were observed in the basins, indicating a dominant climate control on vegetation and habitats.

Sporopollenin chemistry and its durability in the geological record: an integration of extant and fossil chemical data across the seed plants

Phillip E. Jardine et al.

Summary: Sporopollenin, a highly resistant biopolymer forming the outer wall of pollen and spores, has opened up new avenues for palynological research. While there is strong taxonomic signature in isolated sporopollenin from extant grass pollen, substantial chemical differences were revealed between extant and fossil sporopollenin, tied to diagenetic changes and chemical derivates of sample processing. Directly integrating extant and late Quaternary chemical data is feasible with maintained sample processing routines, but classifying fossil specimens using extant training sets will be challenging due to consistent differences between extant and deeper time sporomorphs. Further research is needed to understand and simulate the effects of diagenetic processes on sporopollenin chemistry.

Summary: The study reveals a close correlation between moisture availability in Africa and ENSO variability, likely driven by changes in Earth's eccentricity. Low-latitude insolation is identified as a key driver of pan-African climate change, impacting vegetation and mammal evolution.
