Original: Non-analog environments supported early Homo sapiens in southern Africa 200 000 years ago

New research reported by Nature suggests that early Homo sapiens in southern Africa lived in non-analog environments around 200,000 years ago — ecological conditions with no modern equivalent — which may have supported the species' survival and development. The findings add to scientific discussion about the environmental conditions that shaped early human evolution in the region.
