What kind of cars did they drive back then?

That could explain it all.

I was reading recently that ancient Carthage which I guess is about where Libya is now, only 2000 years ago had sufficient rainfall to be a major grain producer.

Now it is more or less desert.

"Tabor's research supplies a picture of the paleo landscape of Ethiopia that wasn't previously known because the fossil record for the tropics has not been well established."

Sounds to me like someone is getting desperate. And what they have to show is:

"Thirty million years ago, before Ethiopia's mountainous highlands split and the Great Rift Valley formed, the tropical zone had warmer soil temperatures, higher rainfall and different atmospheric circulation patterns than it does today,"

I am not a certified egghead, but I could have told people that beforemountains SPLIT and a Great Rift Valley FORMED... the weather was not exactly what it is today.

And this has what relevant importance in life, liberty and economics…how?

How does anyone insult anomalous narcissism without getting the mess on themselves; just walk away, as the smart DNA did in Ethiopia. This leads to my hypothesis, supporting “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder,” driving through life while using the rear-view mirror leads to reckless and inefficient driving.

And they don’t see that mankind didn’t make it warmer, wetter, or worse back then?

Ethiopia 27 million years ago had higher rainfall, warmer soil

And, apparently, lots more SUVs.

...and probably higher I.Q.s in it's population, than the reprobates that are running this country at the moment.
