Study Reveals Humans Inhabited African Rainforests 150,000 Years Ago

Researchers studying the Bété I site in Côte d'Ivoire have found evidence suggesting that humans inhabited West African rainforests over 150,000 years ago. Sediment analyses reveal that the dense forests in the area played a significant role in shaping early human evolution and fostering habitat diversity. This discovery contributes to the continuous research on human existence in rainforest environments, as highlighted by researcher Jimbob Blinkhorn.
