GW + SLR = RG,
where
GW = global warming
SLR = sea level rise, and
RG = research grant.
On the other hand, land subsidence and subsequent flooding due to seismic activity yields no grant.
I've been there with research grants. Gotta use those buzz words.

These population expansions had nothing to do with agriculture, but were most likely to have been driven by climate change - in particular, global warming and the resulting sea-level rises at the end of the Ice Age between 15,000-7,000 years ago.What, Bush was President back then? Who knew?

Agreed, then their is this:
Increased agricultural production means more water buffalo to harvest the rice and carry it to market, leading to more cattle flatulence, leading to global warming.

If
"At this time the ancient continent known as Sundaland an extension of the Asian landmass as far as Borneo and Java was flooded to create the present-day archipelago."And "The present-day coastline is about twice as great as it was 15,000 years ago."
How come sundaland didn't reappear when things cooled down and all those other shorelines expanded?

Sundaland didn’t reappear, because things did not cool down. Most people, and unfortunately a lot of them are archeologists and anthropologists and should know better, don’t realize that at the end of the last ice age the oceans were 400 feet lower than they are today. As the water rose, many hills became islands, creating much more shoreline than existed previously.

Is that the archipelago with the Exxon station or the Wal-Mart on the corner?

Because there hasn't been another ice age yet to tie up all that ocean water in the form of ice and snow. We're still in the interglacial period, though probably in the last bit of it.

Uh, OK, makes sense.
(But)
Point was that in one paragaph a land mass was still submerged and in another the shores of facing land masses had expanded (due to lower water levels - or?)
Wrong?

There is currently a very under-worked excavation site on Taiwan which looks like a settlement dating back 30,000 years or more.
Unfortunately it is, as I said, very under-worked and reported on.

Hey, that’s somethin’... am I on the GA list? Of course, I wouldn’t need to be in this particular topic, but still...
No need to add me to the Ray Bradbury ping list though. ;’)
