Extended Data Table 1. a, Paleoclimatic estimates for the
hominin species in the tree and b, reconstructed climatic values at the
tree nodes. Nodes refer to the node number in the tree. Mean age refers
to the mean value obtained by altering the tree topology and branch
lengths 100 times to account for phylogenetic uncertainty.
Extended Data Table 2. a, Paleoclimatic estimates for the
hominin species in the tree and b, reconstructed climatic values at the
tree nodes after subsampling the most abundant species. Mean age refers
to the mean value obtained by altering the tree topology and branch
lengths 100 times to account for phylogenetic uncertainty.
Extended Data Table 3. a, Paleoclimatic estimates for the
hominin species in the tree and b, reconstructed climatic values at the
tree nodes after removing the first decile of the climatic variable
values. Nodes refer to the node number in the tree. Nodes refer to the
node number in the tree. Mean age refers to the mean value obtained by
altering the tree topology and branch lengths 100 times to account for
phylogenetic uncertainty.
Extended Data Table 4. a, Paleoclimatic estimates for the
hominin species in the tree and b, reconstructed climatic values at the
tree nodes after randomly shuffling the fossil occurrence data within
the biogeographical domain of individual species. Nodes refer to the
node number in the tree. Mean age refers to the mean value obtained by
altering the tree topology and branch lengths 100 times to account for
phylogenetic uncertainty.
Extended Data Fig. 1. Maps of fossil locality distribution and
habitat quality at specific nodes in the hominin tree. The association
between the position of fossil localities and habitat quality is
measured by means of AUC. Habitat quality is counted as the number of
replicates (out of 100) a specific location (0.5 degrees geographic
cells) resulted suitable according to paleoclimatic estimates. The
replicates differ from each other in terms of the topology and branch
lengths of the phylogeny used to produce the estimates.
Extended Data Fig. 2. Maps of fossil locality distribution and
habitat quality at specific nodes in the hominin tree, after setting the
maximum number of fossil localities per species at 100 for the ancestor
to all Homo species (node 12, left), early Homo (node 16,
middle) and MHS (node 14, right). The association between the position
of fossil localities and habitat quality is measured by means of AUC.
Habitat quality is counted as the number of replicates (out of 100) a
specific location (0.5 degrees geographic cells) resulted suitable
according to paleoclimatic estimates. The replicates differ from each
other in terms of the topology and branch lengths of the phylogeny used
to produce the estimates.
Extended Data Fig. 3. Maps of fossil locality distribution and
habitat quality at specific nodes in the hominin tree, after excluding
the first decile of the distribution of paleoclimatic estimates. The
node numbers correspond to the tree in Extended Data Fig. 1. The
association between the position of fossil localities and habitat
quality is measured by means of AUC. Habitat quality is counted as the
number of replicates (out of 100) a specific location (0.5 degrees
geographic cells) resulted suitable according to paleoclimatic
estimates. The replicates differ from each other in terms of the
topology and branch lengths of the phylogeny used to produce the
estimates.
Extended Data Fig. 4. Maps showing randomly placed fossil
localities and habitat quality at specific nodes in the hominin tree.The association between the position of random fossil localities (a
single random draw is depicted) and habitat quality is measured by means
of AUC. Habitat quality is counted as the number of replicates (out of
100) a specific location (0.5 degrees geographic cells) resulted
suitable according to paleoclimatic estimates. The replicates differ
from each other in terms of the topology and branch lengths of the
phylogeny used to produce the estimates. The biogeographic domains used
to place fossil localities is indicated by the pink line.
