A Human Migration Fueled By Dung?

I read within the past few months somewhere that as the northern latitudes have been warmer recently (the last decade) and as glaciers have receded, the long frozen ground underneath has been exposed.

Somewhere up in Alaska or northern Canada, some biologists were hiking and smelled the most awful odor.

As they came over the next rise, they saw what it was: a massive hillock of caribou dung, thawing, that had been frozen since it was glaciated thousands of years before. It was several hundred feet high, the size of a land fill.

BTW, There were humans in the arctic some 200,000 years ago. I am one who advocates a much earlier settlement of this continent than 15-20,000 years ago.
