A warmer planet is a greener planet with longer growing seasons, more liquid water, and a greater abundance of flora and fauna generally. I don’t think this is in dispute. So their theory of increased competition over dwindling resources would have to be based on a time of cooling, not warming, yet I have a feeling that if I read the article I’d find they’re claiming that warming was the culprit.
No, no, no, it was infrastructure they were fighting over. Racial infrastructure.
I think this may have been the bigger contributor to the conflicts.
That’s why our ancestors LEFT Africa.
Others did not......................................
I don't think they had even invented HUVs (Horse Utility Vehicles) 13,000 years ago.
Most put the domestication of the horse at about 6-7,000 years ago.
“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.”
I strongly recommend anyone believing things like this read the book “Motel of the Mysteries.”
Amazon uses this description: “It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of USA has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber. Carson’s incredible discoveries, including the remains of two bodies, one of then on a ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods and the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber, permitted him to piece together the whole fabric of that extraordinary civilization.”
The book describes how archeologists analyze the remnants of a motel. “The ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods” is a standard motel bed and the altar is the toilet. “the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber” is a person lying in the bathtub.
Very humorous reading that exposes how wrong archeologists can be.
Climate changes.
Always has, always will.
Cope.
Like humans haven’t been fighting each other forever.
This is like saying water is wet.
They need to create a Nobel price in idiocy
Perhaps it is because of a stone age culture.
Consider.. How does a civilized person obtain social standing among their peers? Hard work, businesses, MONEY! Lots of money!
Now, how does a stone age man obtain social standing among his tribe? By being a great warrior.
How does he become a great warrior? By having enemies to kill and showing prowess on the battlefield.
He can prove his warrior ability by stealing and enemy’s weapon, horse, touching an enemy in battle.
In single combat he shows his prowess by killing and scalping his enemy, the scalp proving he did it.
He may also make war on his enemy’s woman and kids as the scalps of such proved hi actually, by stealth, got inside the camp and even into the lodge, and his proof could be a child’s scalp.
Chief Four Bears of the Mandan went off on a one man war raid, killed and scalped two Ojibway women getting water and got away with it. It was considered a great victory, even though it shocked Catlin.
Just after the Little Big Horn, Gen Crook attacked a Cheyenne camp and found items from the 7th inside. He also found a sack full of children’s scalps. The Shoshone scouts recognized those children’s scalps as from their own tribe and set up a weeping and wailing all night long.
After the tribes were finally defeated and placed on reservations, they had no way to increase their social standing. They were completely out of their comfort zone of socially moving up in the tribe.
In the olden days they would go off on their own, starve themselves until they had a hallucination and took from it their guidance for the future.
By the 1880s, the tribes had found the White Man had all the visions and dreams captured in a bottle, and for a few pelts they could buy a bottle to have plenty of visions and dreams.
And 13,000 years ago the European was probably the same.
Early rappers dissing each other?
So I am supposed to believe the cemetery discussed is 13,000 years old?
It was from all the auto exhaust 13,000 years ago...
People still are fighting over resources. Ever see video of when Popeyes runs out of promotional chicken in the hood?
13,000 years ago Earth was warming out of an ice age and flooding was common. But as for the disruptions causing battle among humans? Since when did we ever need disruptions as an excuse? It’s in our nature to fight! Surprising that we’ve overcome our nature to the (what little) extent we have.
Just like our future?
Anthropology is about as close as you can get to fantasy while still calling it a science.
