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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter the Ice\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of climate change's impact during this momentous period—one that also saw the colonisation of the Americas and mass extinctions 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848279707884,"sku":"9780753813928","price":30.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10239043482456.jpg?v=1758970757"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/prof-steven-mithen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
