Right. Same thing happened in the US west about 100 years ago. Remember “Don’t Fence Me In” and the range wars? Open range cattle drivers are hunter-gatherers.

Another consequence of farmer’s victory is the rampant spread of disease with clusters of humans.

The findings confirm archeological data, which shows that the slowdown in the spreading of farming communities was not, as often assumed, the result of crops needing to adapt to chillier climates, but indeed a consequence of the struggle for space with prevalent hunter-gatherer communities.

And WHY was the the hunter-gatherer more prevalent in the north? Well, perhaps it was because farming was more difficult due to the chillier climates...

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
