I thought climate only changed in the 2nd half the 20th century??

Climate change has been busy on this planet since long before the ice age.

I tend to bypass any entirely that uses the idiotic “BCE” date differentiation. The time may come when it is unavoidable given the PC madness that is enslaving the planet but we aren’t there yet.

I always wondered why the rollers didn't just fall right off.

[Jim Robinson]

Took a big study to figure all that out, eh?

[SunkenCiv]

Apparently you don't.

[SunkenCiv]

They got the idea when they were plowed.

> climate dramatically impacted the migration of people across Europe

Some evil person must have used a time machine to give the dinosaurs filthy, polluting cars. There can be no other explanation.

It’s kind like old Sam said, may god rest his irreverent soul;

“You know, we’ve been coming here giving you food for about 35 years now and we were driving through the desert, and we realized there wouldn’t BE world hunger if you people would live where the FOOD IS!

But it took a study to figure it out. Academia= Educated Idiots.

That's one of the chances ya take when a show like Top Gear gets access to the latest technology.

"We have deserts in our country, we just don't live in 'em, *******!" [kind of a weird joke for Sam, since he'd lived in LA already]

So basically people in the Neolithic period were able to figure this out in areas OTHER than Africa where they still haven’t figured it out. There are some who never learn.

And this is important because?

[bunkerhill7]

The hunters gathered up the farmers’ daughters.

Do we really need a study to show that if things get uncomfortable in one place, for whatever reason, they’ll look to move elsewhere, especially a people that’s nomadic to start with?

A more interesting study would have been on why are there people living in the harsh climes of Alaska, Siberia, the deserts of Africa and Arabia? Why didn’t those people move?
