Absolutely correct. Before there was “technology” and our current (and recently passed) ages of Information and Industry basically permitted people to remain PUT, mass exoduses of people around the world from region to region occurred.
There have been several studies of where people lived, and how they migrated across Europe. One of those studies showed that most people are descended from a few people in a recent past (several thousand years ago now) and that there was some kind of disaster that killed most people on the planet. (I would guess it was an asteroid or something).
Still, those people survived because they moved to warmer climates apparently.
It’s thought that modern man lived through and became what we are today, while the Neanderthal race of humans died because they were more adept at living in COLDER climates, while modern man moved to and took over warmer climates. As the Ice Age climates fell back so did Neanderthal - whom eventually failed.
At least that’s the theory. There’s starting to be a bit of evidence to show this was probably the case.
Even so, warm IS good, and it allows us to grow more, feed more, create more population... and to me, this is a good sign we should be pushing for the Stars sooner, than later. While we have the technology and abilities, and while we can advance our human race on the planet, we should be pushing to move beyond this planet eventually.
PERHAPS we won’t go the way of the dinosaur and 99% of everything that’s already lived on this planet, huh?
You want some free cockroach puppies?
