Early human impacts and ecosystem reorganization in southern-central Africa

Beginning in roughly 10,000 B.C., people around the world adopted large-scale farming as part of the Neolithic Revolution. But humans in need of resources have been shaping their surroundings for much, much longer than that. As a new study published in the journal Science Advances suggests, Stone Age people in southeastern Africa used fire to intentionally transform the landscape around Lake Malawi some 85,000 years ago.
“This is the earliest evidence I have seen of humans fundamentally transforming their ecosystem with fire,” says lead author Jessica Thompson, a paleoanthropologist at Yale University, in a statement. “It suggests that by the Late Pleistocene, humans were learning to use fire in truly novel ways. In this case, their burning caused replacement of the region’s forests with the open woodlands you see today.”
These are excellent displays of guess work. The data these people have composed is estimating human habitation and technology for 200k years ago? Seriously? I admit, most of the geologic terminology is beyond me. Geology has not been any area that I have researched. Considering that these very same scientists were in universal agreement that there were no communities of humans with enough free time to build permanent megalithic structures until the beginning of civilization in the lower region of modern day Iraq, approximately 5000 BC. However Goebeckli Tepe just threw that all out the window. No we are led to believe that they can determine arson 85k years ago. This is quite the leap for me to be able to take very seriously. This is guess work. Find some data, come up with a theory, but there is no way to confirm or dismiss the theory because we have no way of proving or disproving it. The scientific community also believed that the city of Troy was made up as a story by Homer, until they found the ruins of Troy. This was not anywhere close to as old as what these folks are proposing. This coincides in 2021 perfectly with the concept that humans are capable and even responsible for climate change. Is it not convenient to further the climate change theory? I don't know how old you are, but I remember the mongering about the coming of another Ice Age in the 70's. Then there was the depletion of the ozone in the early 80's, then it was Acid rain on the late 80's, then it was global warming in the 90's, then when the world wasn't getting warmer, they pointed to any change in weather and called it global climate change. They have been beating that drum ever since. This is questionable at best. You have obviously convinced yourself that this is fact, it is apparent that we are at an impasse. The only thing I can say at this point is that we will see. When the world doesn't become Mad Max, then I guess I am right. If it does, then I guess you are right.
Those are just some examples of information about this. Read Schauberger, please and understand how when the trees are removed by burning or otherwise the soil gets baked. Temperatures rise due to loss of shade causing increased evaporation. Too much evaporation predictably...dries out the new desert, killing the microbial life in the once living soil. There will be less rainfall due to the aridity. If there is rain then flooding occurs due to the relative impermeability of the ground.
Trees are the heatsinks of the planet. They cool the ground and help it retain moisture. Of course climate is going to change when you take so many away. It's hotter, more arid, it's harder to sustain life...They just wanted grasslands for their herds but it was done so much the land couldn't support the grasses anymore. I would think at the end of the ice age there would tend to be a lot of water freeing up globally but maybe not in the Sahara. They went in the opposite way and dried up.
I will take a look at his data, his theory and his conclusions. On the surface, it seems counter intuitive. I grew up in Northern California. The massive wild fires have been an annual occurrence for as long as I can remember. They weren't this bad when I was a kid, but the changes to the lumber industry and even the rural folks being able to chop down trees for firewood was banned and eliminated. This makes for more dead wood that becomes tinder for outrageously massive fires. Most of the time these fires were caused by lightning and sometimes they were caused by careless campers or rural inhabitants, but after the devestating fire, the soil was regenerated by the fires and the forests restored quickly. Within a few years, we were back to those areas and camping again in the Boy Scouts. You wouldn't even be able to tell that there was ever a fire. They have found that most of the new fires were arson, within the last decade or so. Some have been because of the cartel sending their people up to burn entire forests, just to eliminate a legal pot farm. Nowadays, there are arsonists that are setting the fires because of climate change. From my own personal experience, it seems counter intuitive. I will look at what Schauberger has proposed. I will also look into him as a scientist and see where his funding came from. I think it is important to know where he is coming from and what his background and supporters are. I unfortunately find this is necessary, based on the number of fake studies, theories and falfied data that has been revealed over the least 10 years.
Okay, so I started looking into Schauberger. This is Viktor Schauberger, correct? This is more interesting and not at all modern day pseudo science. This is going to take me a lot longer than I expected, but you have piqued my curiousity. Some of what I have read about his beliefs in water seem inherently or instinctively correct, but it is going to take a lot more reading to get the full picture. I am still a bit skeptical about 8500 years old humans burning a quarter of a continent and turning it into desert, but I will get back to your after I have had some time to study. It may take a while, but thank you for pointing this information out.
