    “This may have promoted the evolution of extractive foraging techniques as well as food sharing, which made it possible to expand from forests into more open habitats.”

    What is the implication for early humans expanding to more open habitats?

    Interesting article btw. Early humans are fascinating

      I’m not an expert but if I recall correctly, fully bipedal locomotion, erect posture and later the development of agriculture were all possible thanks to a series of changes in environment. So in my understanding that paragraph is suggesting that pair bonding provided advantages obtaining food resources which allowed early hominids to thrive in more areas.
