人类社会是在气候和生态相互作用的复杂系统中进化而来的。已知的记录表明，适应、减缓和迁移与极端气候之间存在密切关系，并对人类社会产生影响。印度西北部提供了这样一个例子，在全新世早期，沿着主要河流系统的人类文明繁荣起来，当时印度夏季（西南）季风要强得多，印度陆地上的降雨量也更高。夏季因此变得更好，有利于农业和生态多样性。在过去的1万年里，印度大陆早期文明的变化与季风气候的变化有着密切的关系。自全新世早期（10000 - 7000年）夏季风强度达到峰值以来，过去7000年夏季风强度有所减弱
Human societies have evolved through a complex sy s-tem of climate and ecological interactions. Known r ecords suggest intimate relationship of adaptations, mitig ations and migrations to climate extremes leaving their im-pacts on human societies. The northwestern part of India provides such an example, where human civil i-zations flourished in the early Holocene along the m ajor fluvial systems when the Indian summer (southwest) monsoon was much stronger and rainfall was higher over the Indian land mass. Summers were thus we tter, conducive to agriculture and ecodiversity. Changes in the early civilizations in the Indian su b continent had a close relation to changes in the mo n soon climate over the past 10,000 years. The summer monsoon has wea k-ened over the last 7000 years since its peak intensific a-tion in the early Holocene (10,000–7000 cal yrs
