Nestled into the canopied highlands of southwestern Honduras, the El Gigante rock shelter appears in landscape photos as an inky crevice overlooking a slope. Its deep, dry interior, a refuge to many a group of humans passing through over the last 11,000 years, came to preserve their tools, fabrics, and foods in accumulating layers of dirt. | Nestled into the canopied highlands of southwestern Honduras, the El Gigante rock shelter appears in landscape photos as an inky crevice overlooking a slope.

Modern human activity is known to drive climate change, but global temperatures were already affected by farmers millennia before the Industrial Revolution. For years, scientists have been debating about the size of preindustrial warming effects caused by human activities. Now, according to Ruddiman et al., new evidence confirms that early agricultural greenhouse gas emissions had a large warming effect that slowed a natural cooling trend. | |||
