The two volumes bring together the contributions of the members of
the International Union of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences
(UISPP), to a project launched in 2017, with the support of the
International Academic Union (UAI), under the title Human societies
facing climate change in prehistory and protohistory: from the
origins of Humanity to the beginning of historical times. The first
volume concerns prehistory from the earliest humans to the end of
the Pleistocene, twelve thousand years ago. For three million years
human societies have experienced a great alternation of glacial and
interglacial periods. Which climates have been most favorable to
human settlement? Which the least favorable? And did they involve
the abandonment of territories, the collapse of societies and
extinction of some human populations? When and in what climates did
human groups colonize each of the continents of the planet? Is a
period of climatic improvement with a hot and humid climate more or
less favorable to the development of human societies than a period
of climate depreciation? Is climate change a factor of change for
human societies, forcing them to adapt and find sustainable
solutions?
