How did our ancestors face climate change? Yet many commentators, and even some scientists, discuss it with reference only to the changing climate of the last century or so.John Grainger takes a longer view and draws on the archaeological evidence to show how our ancestors faced up to the ending of the last Ice Age, arguably a more dramatic climate change crisis than the present one. Their response to the problem was not to attempt to stop climate change but was experimental and technological in finding ways to cope with it.Global warming is among the most urgent problems facing the world today.
Ranging from the Paleolithic down to the development of agriculture in the Neolithic, the author shows how human ingenuity and resourcefulness allowed them to adapt to the changing conditions in a variety of ways as the ice sheets retreated and water levels rose.
