Talk:Great White South

Worldwide Climate
Though this is intriguing, would not the whole history of civilization be radically different if there had not been an ice age such as laid down so much ice in not only Antarctica, but also Eurasia and North America? The world would most likely have been temperate over most of the land masses for much longer, giving rise to the unhindered expansion of the human race to most points of Africa, Europe, and Asia. With no land bridges, though, the continents of Austraila and the Americas would be accessed only after the utilization of watercraft (but that also being a lot sooner).

Though not ice covered, the points furthest north and south would have been colder than most of humanity would have wanted to inhabit. It would have only been with the need for natural resources that these regions would have been in demand. With a point of departure so far back in the past, far more than a southern tundra would be seen here. SouthWriter 16:08, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
