Verve timesClimate change and prehistoric human populations: Eastward shift of settlement areas at the end of the last ice age
An archaeological study of human settlement during the Final Palaeolithic revealed that populations in Europe did not decrease homogenously during the last cold phase of the Ice Age. Significant variation in regional population sizes indicate differentiated reactions nested in an overall shift of settlement areas towards the east.
Climate change and prehistoric human populations: Study finds eastward shift of settlement areas at end of last Ice Age
A new study sheds light on how prehistoric hunter-gatherer populations in Europe coped with climate changes over 12,000 years ago. Led by scientists from the University of Cologne, a team of 25 prehistoric archaeologists from twenty European universities and research institutions revealed significant shifts in population size and density during key periods at the end of the last Ice Age, specifically during the Final Paleolithic between 14,000 a…
Late Upper Paleolithic humans responded to climate change
The study showed that European populations did not decrease in the same way across the continent during the last cold phase of the Ice Age, more than 12 thousand years ago, because they will have responded to climate change, contrary to what happened in previous periods when population collapse occurred. The research, published in the scientific journal “PLOS One”, was carried out by a team of 25 archaeologists specialized in European prehistory…
