项目摘要
Modern humans have an unparalleled capacity to modify their ecosystems. When and how humans obtained this ability is uncertain. This project seeks to clarify the timing and nature of human ecosystem modification over the course of human evolutionary history. Specifically, this project examines the potential impacts of a new emphasis on meat-eating by Pleistocene Homo erectus on mammal communities using a quantitative, food-web approach, informed by studies of the anatomy and isotopic composition of fossil predators with which human ancestors competed for access to meat. The project broadens participation in paleoanthropology by creating new opportunities for student research, enhances international, multidisciplinary research collaborations, and disseminates results broadly, including public-facing outreach events. The Ancient Hominin Impacts Hypothesis (AHIH) states that meat-eating by Homo erectus caused profound impacts on Pleistocene mammal communities, driving both large herbivore prey species, and competing predators to extinction. However, at the time Homo erectus first appeared, the region in which they appeared was experiencing climate-driven grassland expansions, which may also have contributed to extinctions in predators and prey. It is currently unknown whether environmental change, human impacts, or a combination of both best explains the observed Pleistocene mammal extinctions. This project tests the AHIH using a paleo food webs approach at the site where Homo erectus first appears in the fossil record. Anatomical and isotopic studies of local carnivores reveal which herbivore species extinct carnivore consumed, informing a quantitative paleo food-web model of the local community. The outputs of numerical food-web modeling experiments will be compared to the predictions the AHIH to reveal what impact, if any, human ancestors had on Pleistocene mammal communities. The project expands an understanding of the evolutionary significance of meat eating to ecosystem modification.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
现代人类具有修改其生态系统的无与伦比的能力。人类何时以及如何获得这种能力尚不确定。该项目旨在阐明在人类进化史的过程中人类生态系统修饰的时间和性质。具体而言,该项目使用定量的食物 - 网络方法研究了新强调对哺乳动物社区对哺乳动物群落进行肉食的潜在影响,这是通过对化石捕食者的解剖结构和同位素组成的研究所启示的。该项目通过为学生研究创造新的机会,增强国际,多学科研究合作并广泛传播成果,包括公众面向公众的外展活动,从而扩大了对古人类学的参与。古老的人类影响假设(AHIH)指出,homo horectus吃肉对更新世哺乳动物群落产生了深远的影响,驱动了两个大型草食动物猎物物种,并灭绝了竞争的捕食者。但是,当Homo直立首次出现时,他们出现的地区正在经历气候驱动的草地扩张,这也可能导致捕食者和猎物的灭绝。目前尚不清楚环境变化,人类影响还是两种结合都可以解释观察到的更新世哺乳动物灭绝。该项目使用Paleo Food Web方法在Homo Eroctus首次出现在化石记录中的网站上测试AHIH。对局部食肉动物的解剖学和同位素研究表明,食草动物灭绝的食肉动物消耗了哪些食物,这为当地社区的定量古食品 - WEB模型提供了信息。将数值食品WEB建模实验的输出与AHIH的预测进行比较,以揭示人类祖先对更新世哺乳动物群落的影响(如果有的话)。该项目扩大了对肉食的进化意义对生态系统修饰的理解。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务,并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准,被认为值得通过评估来支持。
