Because plant-like protists make their own food from sunlight, in what kind of environment would they not be able to survive? why?

They would not be able to survive in an environment without sunlight. For instance, they would not be able to survive in caves, because they need sunlight for food and if there is no sunlight then they can not create food and would starve.

Many archeologists and anthropologists disagree with dr. thorne's view.  thorne strongly believes that what many calls "homo erectus"  was in fact  homo sapiens,  and that they migrated out of africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout europe and asia. that's way different  from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species.
