Twenty thousand years ago Earth was in the midst of an ice age.
Then global warming arrived, leading to massive floods, the spread
of forests and the retreat of the deserts. By 5,000 BC a radically
different human world had appeared. In place of hunters and
gatherers there were farmers; in place of transient campsites there
were towns. The foundations of our modern world had been laid and
nothing that came after - the industrial revolution, the atomic
age, the internet - have ever matched the significance of those
events. After the Ice tells the story of climate change's impact
during this momentous period - one that also saw the colonisation
of the Americas and mass extictions of animals throughout the
world. Drawing on the latest cutting-edge research in archaeology,
cognitive science, paleontology, geology and the evolutionary
sciences, Steven Mithen creates an evocative, original and
remarkably complete picture of minds, cultures, lives and
landscapes through 15,000 years of history.
