    One of the longest-standing ideas in human evolution is that the big shift happened when our ancestors left the trees and went out onto the grasslands. In his new book Jungle , archaeologist Patrick Roberts takes a machete to that notion, setting out
    evidence that dense tropical forests have been home to humans and our relatives for millions of years.

    Millions of years is not enough. We have tools for 3.3 my.

    I agree and always have. In fact, I have repeatedly argued that it's exactly how
    Chimps evolved. That, we were one and the same species, and we were, and
    this included a forest population, but that the forest population was moderated by interbreeding with those outside the forest. Then after the split Homo competed against and likely preyed upon the Pan side, at least the ones not hiding in the forest, until forest adaptation were no longer mitigated by breeding
    with populations in the open.

    Humans literally created Chimps.
