Recent evidence shows that even our distant ancestors changed their environment in significant ways
Humans want to control everything around them, changing the world to suit their own needs - and that might be what separates us from other species. Many scientists think that this old habit is also the primary driver of today’s climate change. has revealed that even hundreds of thousands of years ago, human activity resulted in changing the environment, although on a much smaller scale than in modern times.
During their 2000-year presence in the area, the Neanderthals turned Neumark-Nord into an open field, apparently destroying trees to impose their own living standards. “It adds an important aspect to early human behavior, with them impacting ecosystems very far into the past, even though we do not know whether this was intentional behavior intended to make and keep the landscape open,” the professor said.
While in Neumark-Nord forests closed around the open areas after the Neanderthals left, they are still not as dense as the region at large, where the Neanderthals did not live, scientists found. There are not any significant climate differences between the two regions to make an impact on the thickness of forests, they also said.
