Figure a: A paleogeographic map of South Asia and The Sundaland in Southeast Asia over 20,000 years ago. These lands were occupied by their respective earliest settlers.Figure b: Rising sea level flooded The Sundaland, reduced the land area and caused land splits into smaller islands, influencing multiple population dispersal and population surge, especially in the Island Southeast Asian region. Figure c: Overpopulation in the Island Southeast Asian region drove the Malaysian Indigenous group (Malaysia Negrito, or commonly known as ‘Orang Asli’) to migrate back northward, toward Mainland Southeast Asia and South Asia.

[Four of Six]

There was sea level rise 20,000 years ago?

Was the global economy based on petroleum then, too?

Key statement in article:

last major period of global warming in Earth's history, from the Last Glacial Maximum period (approximately 26,000—20,000 years ago)

Was it SUV's? Coal burning power plants? Cave man burning twigs?

[Jim Noble]

It's a great story

[wjcsux]

Everyone must have been driving SUV’s back in those days.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Driving smog-producing cars. Overconsumption of beef. No wonder why there was Global Warming in prehistoric times!!

[dfwgator]

Sundaland, isn’t that across The Tyne from Newcastle?

[CFW]

And I can create a study which shows they migrated directly across my property if I wish to tilt the outcome of the study to my chosen narrative.

How many things have the “experts” told us over the past decades (and last few years) that have later found out to be based on false data?

As you know....a favored subject of mine:

Sundaland

[DouglasKC]

The sea level rose without any manufacturing or western culture...amazing.
