The story begins about nine thousand years before the Persians and Greek fought at Plataea, when the world began warming up after the last spasm of the Ice Age [Paleoclimatologists technically date the end of Ice Age proper around 12,700 BC but regularly treat the twelve hundred year mini ice age known as the Younger Dryas (10,800-9,600 BC) as the Ice Age's final phase.] Plants and animals, including humans, reproduced madly. At the coldest point in the Ice Age, twenty thousand years ago, there has been barely half a million people on earth; ten thousand later there were ten million.
Then as now, global warming affected some parts more than others. What made the lucky latitudes lucky was that in this part of the world, climate and ecology conspired to favor the evolution of large-grained grasses and big, meaty mammals. The hunting and gathering were better here than anywhere else on earth, and of the ten million people in the world of 8000 BC., more than half lived in the lucky latitudes. ~ Page 76
