Por décadas, os cientistas acreditaram que os humanos antigos evitavam as florestas tropicais densas. Escuras demais, perigosas demais, difíceis demais para sobreviver.
Mas uma descoberta na África Ocidental está reescrevendo essa história. Pesquisadores encontraram evidências de que os primeiros humanos não só entravam nas florestas tropicais, como também prosperavam nelas.
Eles encontraram ferramentas, restos de comida e sinais de acampamentos permanentes. Isso muda tudo o que pensávamos sobre a evolução humana. Não conquistamos apenas a savana. Também nos adaptamos à selva.
That's the story.
