Describe how climate change throughout the past 200,000 years may have influenced the development of humans. How may have environmental hardships associated with climate change actually benefitted the technological and social development of our species? What other ways did environmental change impact humans and their geographic distribution through time? What was different about humans (population, geographic distribution) and their capabilities during the most recent ice age from the first ice age humans experienced? Finally, how did environmental change after the end of the last ice age impact human history?
