Talk:Alfred Gabriel Nathorst

Nobody mentioned his central role in uncovering human history?
I am not a biologist, so hesitate to edit the original text. But it seems from this document that Nathorst coined the term "Dryas" (after the famous plant) for the inter glacial period. This was the key that opened the door to reconstructing a detailed climate history. Later researchers showed that the rapid cooling and warming of the "Younger Dryas" probably led to the rise of farming.

As I said, I am no expert: as a result, my edits to Wikipedia normally get deleted. So I'm writing it here because, if it's true about his role in the Dryas, somebody needs to say something! 86.137.79.137 (talk) 13:13, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
