Humans + Nature = ?

Heres the link

Whilst not directly linked with sea level rise itself, this is a really interesting paper about the devastating effects contact with humanity can have on natural ecosystems previously untouched by man.

This coupled with my previous post about Beringia and the pathway it produced allowing migration into Northern America, a previously unpopulated area, provides a good look at how such land bridges formed by decline in sea level have brought about long term and ireversible changes to natural landscapes.

Whilst human population across the globe was most likely inevitable, whether by foot or by boat, the stage humanity was at when it crossed these oceans surely would have afffected the way we treated the land when it was finally breached.
