Although there is much that scientists don't know about the Younger Dryas Period, this overview is informative, including the various theories that have emerged about this interesting weather period. The Younger Dryas marked the end of the last glacial period, the end of the Pleistocene Era, and the beginning of the Holocene Era, which is the current era.
This book studies North America and compares it with Northern Europe and the Levant (referring to modern-day countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine). This sudden warming period caused significant changes in all the areas mentioned.
When the weather changed, flora and fauna died, and new ones emerged. This caused wildlife that depended on these foods to move or adapt to the new foods. Of course, this caused humans to adapt or move (following the wildlife for food).
The research highlighted is engrossing. As more is known about this period, theories have risen or been discarded. This book explains the emerging theories and why they are promising.
