Humans at the End of the Ice Age: The Archaeology of the Pleistocene―Holocene Transition (ed. Lawrence Guy Straus, et al., Springer, 1996)

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. (amazon)
