Project
Fluctuating climate and consequences for the mammalian and hominin evolution: closing the gap in the Northern Kenya Rift. Project abstract Preliminary
fieldwork in the East African Rift System by the proponents suggests
there may be three wet periods in the Rift Valley: 2.7-2.5 Ma, 1.9-1.7
Ma, and 1.1-0.9 Ma before present which seem to correlate with the dry
periods observed in NW and NE Africa, as well as key stages in hominid
evolution. The possible occurrence of large deep lakes during these
periods implies that key steps in human evolution may have occurred in
a relatively humid region, contrary to the current accepted hypothesis.
However, this interpretation is limited as there is a 200 km gap in
current available paleoclimate records. This missing link in important
paleo-ecological data involves the Suguta Valley in the Northern Kenya
Rift. It is essential to investigate this geographical ‘gap’ as it
could provide unique paleo-climatic evidence linking the north and
south EARS records. The Suguta Valley records are important
particularly
concerning
the
2.7-2.5 Ma wet event, evidence for which
has only currently been found in the Ethiopian Rift and the Baringo
Basin. The Suguta Valley may also provide important evidence of
hydrological changes during the Holocene. Dunkley et al. (1993) report
Holocene lake sediment dated at 9.6 ka at a elevation of 575 m in the
valley which is essentially dry now. This project receives important
informations from the project [4] on basin histories in the same
region. It also provides information on long-term climate fluctuations
for other projects. |
