O Gradual global cooling and drying of the period (5.3-2.6 MYA), where moist tropical rainforests were gradually replaced by grassland savannas, created strong selective pressures favoring bipedalism. Gradual global warming of the period (2.6 MYA - 11,600 years ago), created strong selective pressures favoring the development of complex culture and hunting.
