Our most ancient ancestors were battling climate change to survive droughts, freezing and flooding.
And now a growing number of scientists believe that shifts in the Earth’s climate are responsible for creating some of our most distinctive characteristics.
Their research suggests that large evolutionary leaps, such as the development of our bigger brains and ability to create and use complex tools, coincided with periods of volatile climate change.

Global warming sure seems to have lowered the IQ of a significant portion of our population.
Dang - you beat me to it!
Intellectualim today is, just think up anything. The more absurd, the more intellectual it is.
Modern climate shifts have promoted idiocy in the human race.
Whoops, you beat me to it, too.
Climate: adapt or die.
Any intellectual knows that every earthly phenomenon is caused by George Bush, Republicans, Conservatives and gun owners.....
Now it appears that they are making us more stupid.
If the oceans rise and you live on the beach, you must climb it. That’s how you deal with climb it change.
Oh wow, and here I thought that an alien monolith was responsible for intelligent man...
There isn’t enough grant money to go around for Earth Sciences majors at universities nowadays. Publish or perish is being taken to extremes.
Too bad modern morons aren’t bright enough to figure out that we are one of the most adaptable species ever to live on the face of the planet.
Maybe if we have some climate change Democrats will evolve into Republicans and Muslims will evolve into humans
Now I know WHY liberals hate Global warming! If you are smart, you won’t be a liberal.
The polar ice caps have melted and refrozen countless times over the millennia. The last million years -- an eternity in human terms -- is the blink of an eye on this old earth, where you can find massive banks of fossilized oyster shells 28 or so miles inland and at about 1700 ft elevation that are, as far as geology tells us, only from about 20 million years ago, some 45 million years after the last of the dinosaurs, after two previous near extinctions and a long reign of what, 150 million years? There has been CONSIDERABLE shift in climate and geology constantly on our globe.
God put us here and we are only along for the ride -- the weather calls the shots as to how we adapt to survive on this material plane. God tells us how to do it, no matter what the weather does.
Their research obviously excludes any EMPIRICAL DATA from PERU!
We are not "evolving" we are Devolving! Used to be you had to go on missionary trips in the rainforest or africa to see primitives with bones in their noses! Today all you have to to is go for coffee!
Do the fools really think if they can get enough people believing the lie of evolution that it will come true?
you beat me to it!
