Abstract
⺠Amplitudes of the precession, obliquity, and eccentricity cycles over the past 5 ma. ⺠Are tested for significant relationships with hominin speciation and extinction. ⺠All three components show significant associations with speciation events. ⺠Only the obliquity cycle shows a significant association with extinction events. ⺠Climatic change prompts speciation; competition prompts extinction.
