How Will Humans Survive Climate Change? Homo Erectus Has Some Answers

Global temperatures are on track to rise 3-5 degrees by the year
2100 , according to the United Nations Meteorological Organization.
That level of climate change is anticipated to negatively impact
every aspect of human life — from health to agriculture to the
economy . The last time humans had to adapt to the changing
environment on a global scale was hundreds of thousands of years
ago , when homo erectus lived in Africa. An international team of
geologists and anthropologists, among them Dan Deocampo of Georgia
State University, has been studying that period in hopes we might
learn from our ancient ancestors about surviving climate change.
