Europe wasn't a very hospitable place fifteen millennia ago. The
westernmost landmass of the Eurasian continent had endured a long ice
age, with glaciers stretching across northern Europe and into the
region we now call Germany. But suddenly, about 14,500 years ago,
things started to warm up quickly. The glaciers melted so fast around
the globe that they caused sea levels to rise 52 feet in just 500
years. Meanwhile, the environment was in chaos, with wildlife trying
vainly to adjust to the rapid fluctuations in temperature. Humans
weren't immune to the changes, either.
