Umm...I have no clue.

The only difference I can think of is protohumans spread all over the world while other primates stuck to their African habitats (assuming, ofc, the out of africa theory is true).

That would be a more unstable and changing (r) environment not less. But if they were forced to travel as a group (as they are so weak) it could be like a mobile K environment.

Of course then primates who are more widespread should be more K, chimps are naturally less spread out over africa than baboons...are baboons more K? I doubt it.

Shot in the dark though.
