More traditional (traditionaler) history has the Incan Empire being only about a century old when Europeans arrived, and the Incan civilization scarcely older than that.

Ideas are that they mooched off the two civilizations which preceded them in the area, much how the Aztecs are considered to have mooched off the Toltecs and other cultures in the region after migrating there from what is now the western United States.

the mite records also show how two earlier civilisations, the Whari and the Tiwanaku, moved higher into the Andes as temperatures rose during the 11th century

All of those Llamas must have caused global warming.

Al Gore would have known what to do.

Dung-eating mites throw light on Inca civilisation

Well, where the hell were these mites when I was doing my paper on Inca civilization? I could have used some help!

..as temperatures rose during the 11th century, then declined..

Caused by pre-Incan SUV's no doubt.

[CholeraJoe]

moved higher into the Andes as temperatures rose during the 11th century, then declined,

Gives yet another point of reference to the rising temperature in the Northern Hemisphere leading to the colonization of Greenland and later North America, occuring about the same time.

Unless, of course, you want to blame it on Incan SUVs, CFC's from the Incan's refrigerators, and llama farts.

"Even further back in history, the mite records also show how two earlier civilisations, the Whari and the Tiwanaku, moved higher into the Andes as temperatures rose during the 11th century, then declined, partly because of prolonged drought."

Drought raises temperatures? I thought it was the other way around.

Are we now to suspect that global warming may be caused by dung mites?

Dung-eating mites - always have a certain grin on their tiny little faces...

Not to be confused with dust mites:
