Population “…expansions likely predated the emergence of agriculture and herding. So either agriculture/herding happened earlier than we think, or the observed population expansions were more about climate change than the neolithic.”
Pretty simple. We have largely benefitted from the ice age receding. That benefit gave us agriculture and domestication, which eventually gave us trade and eventually, industrialization.
Now what happens if it gets cold again (soon) ?
