Earliest evidence for humans in rainforests

Summary

Nutrition label

78% Informative

New evidence now shows that humans lived in rainforests by at least 150 thousand years ago in Africa , the home of our species.

This pushes back the oldest known evidence of humans in rainforest by more than double the previously known estimate.

Rainforests have often been overlooked, generally thought of as natural barriers to human habitation.
