Rapidly changing ecosystems guided human evolution
The landscape surrounding Olduvai Gorge, Africa, fluctuated rapidly between dry expansive grasslands and closed damp forests, likely influencing early human evolution, a study finds.

Human tree climbing abilities
A study reports that the muscle architecture of Twa honey-gatherers, a population of former hunter-gatherers in Uganda, may enable their extraordinary degree of ankle dorsiflexion during tree climbing, a degree similar to that observed in wild chimpanzees, suggesting that a foot adapted to bipedalism may not have necessarily constrained tree climbing abilities.

Long-term effects of drought on Amazonian forests
Satellite microwave observations of rainfall and canopy water content revealed that recent droughts had long-term, persistent effects on the Amazonian forest canopy, a study reports.
