A gradual change is more likely to have caused the Mid-Pleistocene Transition than an abrupt event

A gradual change in the climate system such as a decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide is more likely to have caused the Mid-Pleistocene Transition than an abrupt event, suggest model simulations constrained by a global ice volume reconstruction over the past 2 millions years.
