The global ecology of human population density and interpreting changes in paleo-population density

Explaining variation in human population density constitutes a basic research problem in human ecology and archaeological science. To contribute to this basic research problem, we build a graphic model and conduct a global analysis of the effects of …

Synchronization of energy consumption by human societies throughout the Holocene
