A new study has found that an Eden-like human habitat in a lush plain off what is today South Africa. The plain was exposed during a glacial event, and the river-covered paradise was so rich in resources that even migratory species did not bother to migrate, according to new isotope analyses.
Related research from some of the same team has previously found evidence to suggest humans thrived in this area even during the eruption of the Mount Toba supervolcano about 74,000 years ago. The eruption caused a volcanic winter which devastated life around the world. But apparently Toba did not impact life that much in the studied area, which was both far enough away and resource-intensive enough that our ancestors’ lifestyles were largely unchanged.
