Study Links Climate And Violence: Peru skeletons show low conflict; ritual sacrifice stays distinct
Throughout history, ancient communities in Peru’s Lambayeque Valley confronted significant flooding and food scarcity. Interestingly, despite these hardships, instances of interpersonal violence were notably infrequent. Research indicates that only a tiny percentage of skeletal remains revealed signs of conflict. Instead, these resilient societies cleverly adapted, capitalizing on marine resources to weather environmental challenges.
