Answer:

Proconsul

Explanation:

Proconsul is an extinct genus of primate. It is widely considered to be the ancestor of all the primates that we know at present, such as the chimpanzee, gorilla, gibbons, orangutans, and of course us, the humans.

This genus of primate had mixed characteristics, something like a cross between the monkeys of the Old World and the primates. Simply it can be said that the four species of this genus were transitional species from monkeys toward primates.

The four known species of Proconsul all lived in Africa, and the main difference between them was the size. The period in which the Proconsul existed was the Miocene, between 25 and 23 million years ago.

Global climate change is when a change in weather appears in an area where it normally wouldn't. This is normally a change in the temperature, precipitation and/or wind. An example would be the ice caps melting in Antarctica because heat is making its way in where it should not be.
