The article discusses the survival of human ancestors after facing possible extinction due to adverse climate conditions. The article describes the Earth's glacial stage known as Marine Isotope Stage 6 (MIS6) that rendered vast areas of land uninhabitable and left a human population that numbered only in the hundreds. The southern coast of Africa is said to have provided a haven for mankind's survival, owing to the ambient temperature of the region and year-round access to shellfish and edible plants. Archaeological research in the area has yielded items thought to be from humans that survived MIS6.
