After 13 years of mining the data, the researchers identified what they say is a complex pattern of episodic violence, driven by forces as diverse as competition for territory, pressure from a changing climate, and the arrival of Europeans.

I knew they would blame climate change for the violence.

“I knew they would blame climate change for the violence.”

I take that as a good sign. They are talking climate change going on
prior to man having the technology to cause climate change.
Envirowhacks would have us believe that before human techno
progress the world climate was forever stable. And, I am
personally proud that it took anthropologists from my alma matre,
Cal Poly, to expose the myth that before Europeans showed up
the natives lived in total peace and harmony.

See Post 16. The climate *does* change, sometimes with disastrous consequences for living things. But it's natural. The big lie is that humans cause it.

Paleo-climate studies have shown many periods of extreme drought in the U.S. Southwest, lasting for hundreds of years. That's likely the reason the Anasazi and other SW cultures abandoned the region around the year 1300. And it can and will happen again.
