Examples of savannah hypothesis in the following topics:
-
- The savannah hypothesis states that hominins were forced out of the trees they lived in and onto the expanding savannah; as they did so, they began walking upright on two feet.
- This idea was expanded in the aridity hypothesis, which posited that the savannah was expanding due to increasingly arid conditions resulting in hominin adaptation.
- The turnover pulse hypothesis states that extinctions due to environmental conditions hurt specialist species more than generalist ones.
- The Red Queen hypothesis states that species must constantly evolve in order to compete with co-evolving animals around them.
- The social brain hypothesis states that improving cognitive capabilities would allow hominins to influence local groups and control resources.
-

- The Hilly Flanks hypothesis, proposed by Robert Braidwood in 1948, suggests that agriculture began in the hilly flanks of the Taurus and Zagros mountains, where the climate was not drier, as Childe had believed, and that fertile land supported a variety of plants and animals amenable to domestication.
-
- An alternative hypothesis posits that adoptive succession is thought to have arisen because of a lack of biological heirs.
-
