       @futurebird Hopefully I'm not reprising my role as ‘reply guy’. I've been playing with a local LLM app called Private LLM. I asked the model I was playing with and it said this. Hopefully the fact that the model had training data related to this topic means there is data out there waiting to be located. Here is the text of the message so ALT text isn't needed.The African Humid Period, also known as the African Humid Episode or the African Wet Phase, was a period of increased rainfall and humidity in Sub-Saharan Africa that occurred approximately between 13,000 and 5,000 years ago. This period was characterized by an expansion of savannas and forests, which supported diverse plant and animal life. The African Humid Period played a significant role in shaping human settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and cultural development during this time. As the climate shifted back to drier conditions around 5,000 years ago, it led to changes in land use, population distribution, and the emergence of new social structures.Yes, there are several ongoing studies and research projects focused on the African Humid Episode. These studies aim to better understand the environmental changes that occurred during this period and their impacts on human societies. Some of the current research areas include:1.Climate modeling: Scientists use advanced computer models to simulate past climate conditions and reconstruct the climate history of Africa during the African Humid Episode. This helps them understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for the changes in precipitation patterns and vegetation cover.2.Paleoclimate reconstructions: Researchers collect and analyze various types of proxy data, such as sediment cores, pollen records, and stable isotope ratios from cave formations, to infer past climatic conditions. By comparing these records with modern climate data, they can gain insights into the causes and consequences of the African Humid Episode.3.Human-environment interactions: Anthropologists and archaeologists study the impact of the African Humid Episode on early human societies, including changes in subsistence strategies, settlement patterns, and cultural practices. They investigate how humans adapted to the changing environment and whether the episode played a role in shaping the development of complex societies in Africa.4.Biogeography and ecology: Ecologists examine the distribution and abundance of plant and animal species during the African Humid Episode, focusing on factors such as habitat fragmentation, migration, and speciation events. This helps them understand how the expansion and contraction of habitats influenced the evolutionary history of African fauna and flora.5.Hydrological changes: Researchers study the effects of the African Humid Episode on water availability, river systems, and lake formation. This knowledge is crucial for understanding the long-term consequences of the episode on water resources and ecosystem stability in Africa.

       @Natasha_Jay The amazing Deltron 3030 album has a comment on this as well (hopefully not reprising my “reply guy” role) https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=0HYzv1jFbFQ&feature=shared

       @futurebird not sure if this helps https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a64222314/human-population-count/

       @futurebird You have one expensive bottle of liquor that has a medallion hanging around the neck of the bottle.

       @futurebird i wonder as to the energy imbued into the original object that would never be able to be duplicated.

       @futurebird I can’t type the symbols on my phone, but I would rank the three sided open first, then the four sided open second, four sided closed third, and four sided double color highest. Then rearrange based on that from left to right and build lowest to highest. Hopefully that makes sense lol
