Mankind Nearly Extinct
Monday, 28. April 2008, 13:46:53
I read in the Danish Newspaper Politiken (in Danish only!) that mankind nearly died out about 70 000 years ago, as the total world population was reduced to around 2000 individuals scattered around in small isolated groups. They may have exaggerated a little bit, I don’t really know for sure. The article was based on the Genographic Project and lead me via via to a very interesting web page produced by The Bradshaw Foundation and called Journey of Mankind. Everybody ought to see this very instructive presentation of the interaction between human migration and climate over the last 160 000 years.
Please forget the idea that climate change doesn’t matter. It is indeed true that climate change is of all times. What is NOT true is, that we have survived so far without any problems, as many people seem to believe. The quality of our environment depends on the global climate. Our (quality of) life is at stake.
