Title: Re: Discuss the major trends in hominin evolution. Post by: obarron2 on Feb 24, 2012 Human primate ancestors were forest dwelling only 6-7 million years ago in Africa. This was a geological time period known as the Pliocene. During this time there were continental changes that resulted in changes in the extent of the sub-tropical forest, isolation of some patches of forest, and the appearance of some primates who lived part of the time on the ground and not exclusively in the trees.
