Gregory Retallack's proposal seems good, based on analysing fossilised buried soils: "Judging from where their fossils were found, transitional forms between fish and amphibians lived in wooded floodplains. Our distant ancestors were . . . opportunistic, taking advantage of floodplains and lakes choked with roots and logs for the first time in geological history."

Thanks for finding this news report.
