The human population at that time was reduced to small isolated groups in Africa, apparently because of drought, according to an analysis … [Read more...] about Humans Nearly Wiped Out 70,000 Years Ago?

When paleoclimatologists met in 1972 to discuss how and when the present warm climate would end, termination seemed imminent and it was expected that rapid cooling would lead to the coming ice age. These ideas were based on the 1M year analogue for … [Read more...] about Signals for a Coming Ice Age: A Note from Peter Harris
