Description

Explore the complex history of human foraging and agricultural transitions in North Western China. This volume from the Developments in Quaternary Science series examines how populations adapted to the deserts, grasslands, and mountains during the last glacial period. As China opened to foreign visitation, new research emerged regarding the strategies that led to the development of millet agriculture and the use of extreme environments like the Tibetan Plateau. This text tracks the movement from Late Paleolithic foraging societies toward more settled agricultural lifestyles, providing essential insights into the environmental and social changes that shaped the region.
