Also, my favourite man-ape Udo frolicked in an African Jungle in Germany's Swabia 11Ma. Now learning that "Global Mean °C" wasn't uniformly excessively higher in that time, but a matter of location due to ocean currents, this shatters my tentative hypothesis in which no man-ape lived in Africa in that period for it would have been too hot for mammals if "Global Mean °C" had been uniform.
Which would have meant: precursors to homo xyz moved to Africa from Germany's latitudes once it got colder.
This paper corrects the "Global Mean °C" fallacy. Because Africa's latitudes and °C weren't included at all in the excessive heating episode, of course mammals did live there during the Miocene. The evolution of homo xyz in Africa doesn't require a German migrant as in my hypothesis.

Beware of "Global Mean Anything" !
CO2-temperature was not always such a clear chain of cause and effect that it is now and has been for the past 650ky.
Most of the past mass extinction events were temperature-related but not CO2-related.
