This is in the Hulu cave in China.

And it showed, you know, a drastic reduction in tree pollen, which, you know, basically you can infer that like, yeah, a lot of a lot of trees died out during this icy period.

Yeah, it's so crazy.

When I was going through this stuff, that to me was like the big reveal.

I mean, I'm a big dummy when it comes to this stuff.

So I just figured that would have been even colder and even worse.

But temperatures actually rose in the southern hemisphere and a lot of the southern hemisphere became warmer and wetter.

And the sea surface temperatures increased in the Caribbean and the tropical Pacific and the mountains of New Zealand.

It's all warmer conditions.

So it was like everything was kind of upside down all of a sudden.

Yeah, for sure.

There were likely some animal extinctions happening.

You mentioned the amount of humans, which was probably at an all-time high at this point, started going back lower and lower.

Their available food was getting slimmer and slimmer.

We mentioned they were dabbing their toe in the pond of kind of settling down a little bit and not hunting and gathering and traveling everywhere.

And all of a sudden they had to pack it up and start moving around again to try and find food again.

Yeah.

Man, this feels like a thousand years ago.

Yeah, for sure.

Another interesting thing is, you know, sometimes in the times of trouble, there can be human advancement because you're struggling and need to think of better ideas on how to do what you're doing.
