Human Climate Niche

Dutch research ecologist Marten Scheffer and his colleagues studied the history of global temperature, human population, and land-use estimations from the mid-Holocene period, beginning about 6,000 thousand years ago to modern times. Scientists found that people, crops, and livestock had clustered heavily in a narrow range of comparatively specified climate conditions. According to them, the optimum climatic conditions for human civilization to flourish have a mean annual temperature of 11 to 15° C or 51.8 to 59 °F. These maps illustrate where the territories with the most favorable climatic conditions for the development of civilization are on Earth and what will happen to them by 2100.
