Sheets of ice
up to three miles high covered much of the Earth's
Northern Hemisphere during the last Ice Age. Our human
ancestors persevered in the harsh Ice Age environment by
developing new technologies and survival strategies at
unprecedented rates. When climate changes melted and
removed the ice 12,000 years ago, humans were uniquely
suited to take advantage of the new worlds that were
beckoning.
During the next 5,000 years, an
insignificant span in terms of geological time, humans
expanded to become the dominant species on Earth.
Populations exploded because new technologies for
hunting and food gathering put all other species at a
disadvantage. Within 3,000 more years, humans had
established the first great civilizations on Earth!!
