The news is so dismal I am distracting myself with reading about teeth. Hunter-gatherer teeth.

It seems obvious that human civilization would die back during the glacial period, and then begin to flourish during the warm Holocene interglacial that followed, starting some 12000 years ago. It’s funny that the Climate Change crowd doesn’t understand this.

Thank you so much for posting this detailed and well curated list of information. I find it highly fascinating

In fact, the size of the populations in both regions shrank, which led to a loss of genetic diversity.

Which led to a wailing and gnashing of teeth...as evidenced by the groove patterns...etcetera, of course...

"an international team of researchers has studied the effects of climate change on hunter-gatherers living in Europe between 47,000 and 7,000 years ago"

Wait...the climate actually changed pre-SUVs? Inconceivable!

Anyone who thinks we aren’t still hunter / gatherers hasn’t visited a Walmart lately.
