The assembly of Africa’s iconic C4 grassland ecosystems is central to evolutionary interpretations of many mammal lineages, including hominins. C4 grasses are thought to have become ecologically dominant in Africa only after 10 million years ago (M

The Late Mississippian represents a time when Earth was thought to be an icehouse and was experiencing eustatic sea level changes similar to today. While there’s been a wealth of research done in the western equatorial Pangea for the Late Carbonife
