Human responses and contributions to environmental change
Dr. Gilbert Pwiti
Dept. of History, University of Zimbabwe, Harare, Zimbabwe.
Papers will use archaeological data to discuss the manner in which people in the past adapted to changing environmental situations given that human behaviour is not a passive response to a given set of environmental conditions. Papers will also examine the manner in which humans have impacted on the environment in an effort to bound it all to their will. Papers will also look at issues such as environmental degradation resulting from different human activities in the past.
