| In Eurasia, contrarily, hominins disappeared by the beginning of the Pliocene. |
| East African hominins may have suffered during dust storms, particularly from particles carried in by winds from the Arabian peninsula. |
| Although hominins are relatively rare in the assemblage, remains of cercopithecoid primates are much more common. |
| The arm is long relative to the leg, resulting in body proportions that differ dramatically from those of more-modern hominins. |
| At Happisburgh the hominins are likely to have eaten more plants in summer and more meat in winter – and then hunting or scavenging in shorter days, and sometimes extreme cold. |
| Some bones also bear evidence that hominins used fist-sized stones to break them open to acquire bone marrow. |
