Humans at the End of the Ice Age [electronic resource] : The Archaeology of the Pleistocene—Holocene Transition / edited by Lawrencs Guy Straus, Berit Valentin Eriksen, Jon M. Erlandson, David R. Yesn

Humans at the End of the Ice Age chronicles and explores the significance of the variety of cultural responses to the global environmental changes at the last glacial-interglacial boundary. Contributions address the nature and consequences of the global climate changes accompanying the end of the Pleistocene epoch-detailing the nature, speed, and magnitude of the human adaptations that culminated in the development of food production in many parts of the world. The text is aided by vital maps, chronological tables, and charts.
