1. 1. Human Impact On Ancient Environments

   

   Using archaeological evidence from diverse regions, this work shows how ancient societies transformed their environments through deforestation, irrigation, agriculture, and urbanization, often causing soil erosion, salinization, and resource depletion. It challenges the myth of a pristine past by tracing long-term feedbacks between cultural decision-making and ecological change, including episodes of resilience and collapse. The study draws lessons for modern sustainability by revealing how technology, population pressure, and social institutions shaped environmental outcomes over millennia.
