Channel: European Geosciences Union
Date: 2023-04-25

What are the three requirements to be met for planets to host active, communicative civilizations or “intelligent life”? When and where did migration corridors or barriers exist for Homo sapiens as early humans spread from Africa to Eurasia? And how did large climatic changes during the Miocene impact potential hominoid habitats? This press briefing combines fascinating theories and insights on evolution.

Participants:

- Taras Gerya, ETH-Zurich, Institute of Geophysics, Department of Earth Sciences, Zurich
- Thomas Litt, University of Bonn, Germany
- Gilles Ramstein, CEA Saclay, LSCE, Gif sur Yvette, France

NOTE: the first two minutes of the video had a focus issue that led to the image being slightly blurred, the issue is fixed from the start of the scientist presentations.
