Why did human ancestors win the evolution race?

According to the latest research, it is the adaptation to many different types of weather that makes the smart people win the race to evolve species.

Researchers are analyzing fossils and ancient landscapes and realizing that the similarity between modern humans and our ancestors is the ability to adapt to harsh environmental conditions , from hot arid desert to wet rainforest or cold icebergs.

Scientists at Germany's Max Planck Research Institute say that this ability is far more important than the art, language or technology skills, which make human beings different from other humans. As good, people are rich in culture but still extinct.

The smart people survive not only in regions with harsh conditions but also grow strongly because they quickly grasp the situation of the surrounding environment to compete with other species.

'We often focus on skills like language, society and cognitive development to compare with other human beings and think that is what makes us exist, but we have little discussion about why. Why do we survive on this planet until today? ' said Dr. Patrick Robert at Max Planck Research Institute.

Although today there is only one human being that is a clever human being, there have been many different species of humans in the world before. In Africa there was a human being who lived 3 million years ago, scattered all over Spain, China or Indonesia, even in Britain about 700,000 years ago.

Like the wise, other groups including Neanderthals and Homo erectus also have clever deeds, pictorial systems, the ability to make stone tools and socialize.

However, these groups of people only live in a certain ecological environment, they only acquire and develop knowledge in the place where they live. For example, Neanderthals mainly hunt animals in the forest and in the grasslands, while small Homo floriensis live only in Indonesian rainforests.

Previously, studies have shown that smart people live only in the steppe or the coast, until about 15,000 years ago our ancestors went deep into areas of harsh living conditions. But new studies show that smart people have lived in a difficult environment long before.

While other groups live narrowly in their own living environment, the smart people have at least 45,000 years of history living all over this Earth. The smart people soon captured the deserts of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, northwest India and the Tibetan Plateau or the towering Andes Mountains.

The ability to live everywhere helps smart people quickly reproduce and develop their large communities, thanks to the behavior of living in social clusters and sharing knowledge to grow together.

'It is the exchange of food from different residential areas that are located far away from each other that makes the smart people adapt to different environmental conditions, relationships and codes of conduct in each place to help the brain Extra sets developed. The smart people soon accepted the difference of their kind, so it excelled and soon replaced other people, " said Dr. Brian Stewart, co-author of the study.
