Well actually these people weren't "cavemen" as the stereotype goes among the typical masses. They were nomads. Well- most of them were nomads. You had a few places here and there where they'd decided to settle down and build settlements, but most people at the time were nomadic in nature. Actually the people of 7,000 years ago were very sophisticated for their time. The first real civilizations had started to tale root, people had learned to domesticate animals for food and transport (stemming mainly from China after they rounded up hogs), and people had begun devoting more time to things like arts and crafts instead of survival- which had been their primary focus before lol.
As it stands SUBMAN, your title is quite misleading (no doubt intentionally). The article merely states that deforestation by early civilizations is partially responsible the CO2-O ratio's inbalance (because after the after the industrial era began and factories began emitting more and more pollutants into the atmosphere; less trees = more CO2 buildup). It's quite a simple concept really. I'm surprised nobody bothered to investigate it until now.
