Human populations and climate change during the last deglaciation

The populations of the Upper Paleolithic witnessed major climatic changes at the end of the last glaciation and during the deglaciation phase. Rapid changes in sea level and temperature disrupted marine and terrestrial ecosystems, which also affected humans of the time. On these subjects, Edouard Bard has given two lectures at the Collège de France, organized two colloquia in Aix-Marseille and participated in a documentary recently broadcast on France 5.
