Google isn't finding anything related to diversity (only genetic diversity maybe) with that search query. |
Genetic diversity "maybe"?

jeannot is correct on that score, and certainly the concept of an "explosion" - which is a poorly defined concept at best - doesn't have a lot of use in the field of paleoanthropology (except in terms of the "creative explosion" which was current back in the 1960's but now is little used by paleoanthropologists).
By the way that picture that you claim models earth's processes is horribly inaccurate and leaves out quite a bit. You might try something like this:
