A longer, more fruitful growing season was "challenging" ?
These people weren't growers.
My reply was directed to the fact that they were hunters, not growers. In fact, the people of the Eurasian steppes were known as the "mammoth hunters". The mammoth and other vast herds died out--from that huge area--when the trees came back.
There IS game in the forest, but not in the huge herds found in grasslands.
A few thousand miles to the south, people were indeed learning to grow stuff and tame animals--but not the Russian steppe people. Not for a few more thousand years.
This “challenge” of a warming climate led to the agricultural revolution, settlements then cities, and civilization with spare time for such things as creating writing systems.
Men adapt and create.
I’m not implying that fact at all.
As I just said, while the tundra steppe was returning to forest, people thousands of miles away in the Middle East, Nile Valley and central China were starting to plant crops and domesticate animals...
I’m glad it happened.
Still, imagine hunting mammoth and woolly rhinos with a Weatherby Mark V SBGM!
They’d make a totem pole with your likeness on it!
implying!? I meant denying...
LOLOL!
/sang that in my head
Didn’t mean to imply you were denying that. :)
I was just thinking of the Gaia worshipers who think the world is meant to be static. Of course I believe most of them are not true believers. They are just power hungry and will cynically use any excuse to tell others what to do.
All living things adapt or die when the environment changes, including us, and I’m glad we are so adaptable, and I’ll bet mammoth steaks were very tasty.
Thanks BenLurkin.
