 | Codding, Brian F.; Robert, Heidi; Eckerle, William; Brewer, Simon C.; Medina, Ishmael; Vemon, Kenneth Blake; & Spangler, Jerry S. | Can we reliably detect adaptive responses of hunter-gatherers to past climate change? Examining the impact of Mid-Holocene drought on Archaic settlement in the Basin-Plateau Region of North America | Climatic change appears to influence major patterns in human history. However, confirming the association between climatic events and adaptive human responses is not straightforward given the potential for spurious correlations and uncertainty in the timing of events.
