Homo sapiens’ Adaptations to the Desert

I hate to be pessimistic, but it’s coming y’all. Global Warming, deforestation, and overfarming are all going to lead to the creation and expansion of Earth’s deserts. We need to try and prevent it as much as we can, but at the same time, we need to prepare for the very real possibility that our descendants will be living in a desert. As an archaeologist and anthropologist, part of my job is to look at the past for modern solutions. Given the environmental pressures we face today, I wanted to write an article about some of the overarching adaptations desert dwelling cultures around the world used to survive, and even thrive, in the desert. <a href="https://medium.com/@valsheridan/adapting-to-the-desert-preparing-for-the-inevitable-3075fcd33398">Website</a>
