The Effects of Human Activity on Climate Climate is a natural activity that can be defined as the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general over a long period of time (which can include temperature‚ air pressure‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ sunshine‚ cloudiness‚ and winds) (“Climate”). The climate has been a part of our environment long before humans came to study it‚ and really took it into consideration.

Climate Effects on Human Evolution This article explores the hypothesis that key human adaptations evolved in response to environmental instability. This idea was developed during research conducted by the Smithsonian’s Human Origins Program. Natural selection was not always a matter of ‘survival of the fittest’ but also survival of those most adaptable to changing surroundings. (Illustrations for this article coming soon.)

Climate and environmental change has played a vital role in Earth’s history‚ and the outcome of these changes has been anything but idle in the evolution of primates. These drastic transformations in the planet’s atmosphere have been the impetus of evolution among species and has sparked interest to geologist and paleoanthropologist for years‚ resulting in a number of hypothesis that “propose that climate-driven environmental

affected by climate change may also explain aspects of human evolution. The approach takes existing knowledge of the geographical spread of other species through the warming and cooling of the ice ages to provide a model that can be applied to human origins. "No one has applied this knowledge to humans before‚" said Dr John Stewart‚ lead author on the paper and researcher at Bournemouth University. "We have tried to explain much of what we know about humans‚ including the evolution and extinction
