Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Middle Awash Valley of Ethiopia, where some of the earliest hominins have been discovered, shows evidence of wooded settings through the study of paleosols (ancient soils) and fossilized fauna. This suggests that these early human ancestors lived in environments that had significant tree cover, rather than open grasslands, marshes, or deserts.
