(Phys.org)—A team of researchers with the University of Connecticut, Harvard University and the Hebrew University in Israel has found that climate conditions in the southern Levant during the Younger Dryas were as cool as other studies have shown, but conditions were not as dry as expected. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team describes their study of gazelle teeth fossils, believed to have come from victims of human hunters during the Younger Dryas.
