There was a reboot 12,800 years ago in the Pleistocene Period by a comet or asteroid hitting Africa that wiped out most life there.

For all of these traits, they found that the makeup of ancient herbivore communities differed significantly from those of today. I don't want to be nearby when Greta Thunberg hears about this.

The herbivore fossil community in Ethiopia and Kenya looks like a perfectly traced line following the Great Rift Valley.
Is that meaningful or just a coincidence?

...suggest is the likely the outcome of long-term grassland expansion ...Does that mean they cut down the rain forests and put future generations at risk?
Sorry - couldn't help myself....the voices are really loud this morning....

Oh I thought the Flintstones caused it to change. You mean nature caused it.
