Study suggests climate change was killing people 13,000 years ago Scientists say battle wounds mean people were fighting over resources

"Territorial and environmental pressures triggered by climate changes are most probably responsible for these frequent conflicts between what appears to be culturally distinct Nile Valley semi-sedentary hunter-fisher-gatherers groups," the study said.

The cemetery holds the remains of 61 people, and it was excavated in the 1960s.

"Over 100 previously undocumented healed and unhealed lesions were identified on both new and/or previously identified victims, including several embedded lithic artefacts. Most trauma appears to be the result of projectile weapons and new analyses confirm for the first time the repetitive nature of the interpersonal acts of violence," the study found.

"...Most trauma appears to be the result of projectile weapons...." Friggin' ancient AR-15s no doubt. Dual horsepower chariots amping up the climate?

Actually, the battle wounds mean they had COVID-19.

If only they had stopped using fossil fuels and used wind power and solar instead, and eaten a vegan diet instead of meat things would have been okay.

And were armed with full-auto AR-15s, chambered in .50 BMG... with silencers, pistol grips, thumb holes, bayonet lugs, et cetera...

Fighting over resources will happen again if this global warming turns out to be global cooling as some scientists suggest. Food production will plummet and half of the world’s population will be lost. Here in the USA, there will be no grains grown North of the Red River.

What total crap. The desire to conquer and rule is innate in man. That is just the way we are.

It’s refreshing to hear that they are now telling us climate change was happening 13,000 years ago. It proves that modern living isn’t the culprit.

Change is the only constant.

Headline implies there was once a time where tribes did not fight each other over resources but the changing climate pushed them over the edge.

I guess “Stone age tribes constantly at war” is not so exciting a headline.

I’ve been led to believe that only Americans are a violent people, it’s interesting to see that those that lived in ancient lands, not America, were war-like and violent as well. Must have been a time traveling red neck with a MAGA hat and an AR-15 teaching these old folks how to hate.

Frieda and Fritz have seven kids and run an efficent but small farm. There really is no place in a depressed world to emigrate and prosper. Despite very hard work, they become poorer. Ivan and Lana also live on a commonly owned farm. They have seven kids as well. They live with eight other big families. The farm is much bigger than the Fritz farm but is run very inefficently and the families are chronically hungry and live in poverty. Eventually Fritz and his friends get a very bad idea.

This scenario recurs throughout history. The next big war will be between resource starved, populated Chima coveting the rich , underpopulated Russian Pacific territories and the Siberian treasure house.

Rome started to fall when the Roman Warm Period ended around AD 400, triggering migrations of people from the north.

The climate has ALWAYS been changing.

Obviously these assclowns have never had to try to function in sub zero conditions. Warmer may be uncomfortable but not nearly as deadly as cold. Fidiots!

War has been a part of human existence for as long as we can tell.

Excellent book documenting this:

War Before Civilization

He reveals, for instance, that prehistorical tactics favoring raids and ambushes, as opposed to formal battles, often yielded a high death-rate; that adult males falling into the hands of their enemies were almost universally killed; and that surprise raids seldom spared even women and children. Keeley cites evidence of ancient massacres in many areas of the world, including the discovery in South Dakota of a prehistoric mass grave containing the remains of over 500 scalped and mutilated men, women, and children (a slaughter that took place a century and a half before the arrival of Columbus).
