South Asian climate and environment at c. 18 000 BP
Abstract
In this chapter we present palaeoclimatic data for the period c. 18 000 ± 2000 BP, for South Asia. It is generally believed that c. 18 000 BP was the global peak after which the present type of interglacial conditions began to develop. In general terms this global climatic picture is correct, but in different latitudinal belts there were significant variations, as we will see below.
