One Model of Hunter-gatherer Persistence During the Holocene


Hunter-gatherer persistence during the Holocene. Colors represent the dates when hunter-gatherer land use dropped below 20%. Data from: Stephens et al. (2019). Archaeological assessment reveals Earth’s early transformation through land use: https://science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aax1192


Adam Morgan Ibbotson ( @AdamMIbbotson) · 2h points out, "the data on the British Isles are incorrect. Britain saw its lowest forest cover in the Early Bronze Age. So 1800BC at the very latest. But you could easily push that back to 3200BC or before. The highlands etc are NOT natural landscapes".
