The Upper Burgi, KBS and Okote Members of the Koobi Fora Fm. in northern Kenya span the period between 2 and 1.4 million years ago and document some of the most important events in hominin evolution. Although previous archaeological and paleoecological investigations suggest hominins occupied specific niches within this ecosystem, we understand little about relationships between landscape variability and hominin adaptation. In this study, we combine stable carbon isotope data from fossil soils...
