Huh? Climate has changed before? I’ve been told it’s a recent phenomenon due to using fossil fuels. What a fool I’ve been. Does this mean the Polar Bears are going to survive?

The keyword listing gets its source viewed, highlighted, copied into a file, and processed by some painstakingly boring BASIC programs, then part of the output gets run through a low-rent database for chrono sorting, then *that* gets plastered back into the original file, followed by the other output files. Most of the work, IOW, goes on while I continue to surf. :^) Takes just a few minutes.

I wonder how much money it cost these clowns to discover that farming cultures would migrate to more suitable climates for better yield?

They discovered migration started quickly out of south-eastern Europe, with Neolithic farmers pushing out the existing hunter-gatherer population. This was demonstrated by how little the DNA of the two groups mixed. As they moved north, the climate became less suitable for the crops they had bought with them. Their pace of movement slowed, changing how they interacted with local hunter-gatherers, which can be seen through increased genetic admixture of the two groups...
Yeah, lame, sounds like it was really easy research as well.

Thanks, not that it made any sense to me.

My pleasure. And thanks 31R1O! It's nice when someone says so, particularly in a rather benign topic where so many have been, are, and no doubt will continue to be gratuitously negative. :^)

My late father's description of the drought in the 1930s, right here in Michigan, made me realize that the drought I witnessed in the 1980s was merely an inconvenience where some curbside trees died along streets in Grand Rapids. :^) That was the year I started my long streak of swimming in Lake Michigan -- the water stayed above 80° for months.

It's 100° (not the Lake, the air) today, and while I love the hot weather, I won't be going through another summer without a pool in the backyard.

This isn't too related, but at the cannibal restaurant (it's in another country) they serve Spaghetti and Pete's Balls. And for dessert, lady fingers.

When something changes around here I sometimes need to go back and figure out what I'd been doing with the program, and then it also makes little sense to me. :^)

One young patron was heard to say “I hate my sister’s guts!”

His mother admonished him to be quite and eat what was put before him...

Just proves we aren’t the first “modern” humans to inhabit the planet. Those guys had evil fossil burning vehicles too. And, just like we’re doing now they destroyed the planet way back then. We now have the proof.

Here's a "reality TV" idea -- a families-change-places show where the families are the Flintstones and the Jetsons.

They say this is the first time that they showed that climate change affected human migration 8100 to 6500 years ago.

That's not the same things as saying that this was the first time that climate change affected human migration. There were people ("anatomically modern humans" as well as Neanderthals) living in parts of Europe before the Last Glacial Maximum, in places which were later under ice caps, so all the people left until the glaciers melted.

I simply read “BCE” as : Before Christian Era, and move right along.
