The Anasazi and 13th Century Climate Change
Last week the New York Times published a fascinating article about the Anasazi people of the 13th century and their move from the Colorado plateau south to where Arizona and New Mexico are now.
Scientists and anthropologists have no simple explanation for why they moved. Apparently, climate change was only part of the explanation; religion may be another reason; wars might be part of the reasons as well.
