People were swarming Egypt 10,000 years ago at the end of the ice age before writing. Yes, but they were not building pyramids. Last one left behind gets overtaken by desert [during northward migration] and by snow during southward migration. Yes, it will be interesting with 6-10B humans fascinated with property rights won't it? Which is partly why I claim we won't see another ice age, given functional brains in our offspring over the next few 10's of K years. And no, the problem is not the next few decades for that. Have you ever considered given your recent fascination with the sun "going out" (LOL!) that a nice sized volcano has significantly MORE cooling forcing on the globe (for a couple of years anyway) than does a solar minimum? No doubt that is what starts your snowball earth sequence. Oh, mybad, it must be a big volcano happening around a solar minimum. Surely that would do the trick?
