Free photos: ancestral environment

Share this page: 

These photographs were taken over the course of several trips to Africa, 2000-2008. According to paleoanthropologists, these environments are representative of our ancestral habitat: the semi-wooded mosaic grassland. Notice the diversity of form and the challenges to finding food and water. Notice also that these are "predator-rich" environments that would have challenged our ancestors in dramatic ways. Use these images to stimulate your creativity and imagination about the natural history of your body.
