摘要: Several hominin genera evolved to use savanna and woodland habitats across Pliocene Africa. This radiation into novel niches for apes occurred despite a daunting array of carnivores (Mammalia, Carnivora) between 6.0 1.8 Ma (Figure 17.1). Many these would have preyed on hominins if given the opportunity. In this paper we ask what behavioral adaptations were that permitted survive spread, potentially higher risk predation in ancient
