University of Cambridge study uncovers unusual pattern in human evolution.
Rate of emergence of new species in our lineage is unparalleled among vertebrates.
Findings challenge previous understanding that some species evolved through anagenesis’ - gradual evolution into another species without branching. Instead, these species may have branched off while the original continued to exist..
Competing as flexible generalists in nearly every ecological niche might have driven the extinction of other Homo species.
“Competition played an important role in human evolution overall,’ says van Holstein .
Perhaps most interestingly, in our own genus it played a role unlike that across any other vertebrate lineage known so far,” he says.
