"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.

Ummm, isn’t humans fighting over resources the main overarching theme of pretty much all of human history? Essentially every human conflict from fights between tribes of cavemen through Hitler’s quest for “living space” has been about competition for resources.

It may be that with the warming 13,000 years ago some were able to adapt more quickly to growing crops and forming civilizations. The crops and “wealthy” villages may have looked real inviting to those stuck in their hunter-gatherer modes of living.

So instead of hunting the dwindling large ice-age mammals, they preyed on the farmers and their supplies.

I guess the way to get a grant these days is to have “climate change” somewhere in the application.
