In my paper out today, coauthor Bernard Wood and I explore the potential impacts of a spatially limited fossil record on understanding human evolution. We do this using two "thought experiments", focusing on the Eastern African Rift Valley. (1/4)

We conclude that we must take habitat reconstructions of extinct species as minimum estimates. We also point out that the rift is bad at capturing east-west gradients in variation. Free link to article here rdcu.be/dRqUm (4/4)
