IUPUI study: Climate change drove population decline in New World before Europeans arrived

(Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis School of Science) IUPUI scientists report on dramatic environmental changes that occurred as Native Americans flourished and then vanished from the Midwestern United States before Europeans arrived. The researchers theorize that catastrophic climate change they observed, which doomed food production, was a primary cause of the disappearance.
