Early apes evolved in tropical forests disturbed by fires and volcanoes, fossil find suggests
Great apes began to diverge from other primates about 25 million years ago, according to eastern African fossil records. Though it would take another 20 million or so years for upright-walking hominins to appear, understanding the habitats of early apes helps clarify how environments drove the evolution of our distant ancestors.
