Demografía y cambio ambiental. Hipótesis para el cambio económico en el Cantábrico Oriental durante el Tardiglacial

Abstract

El registro arqueozoológico disponible en los yacimientos del Cantábrico Oriental durante el Tardiglacial posee claras evidencias de la existencia de un cambio económico gradual desde posiciones especializadas a otras más diversificadas, en una tendencia progresiva de ampliación del nicho ecológico. No existe, sin embargo, un acuerdo general sobre las causas que motivaron esta evolución, pudiéndose distinguir las tesis demográficas, que abogan por un crecimiento sostenido de la población humana y sus necesidades energéticas como factor determinante, de las ambientales, que establecen la mejoría del clima y la reforestación como elementos precursores. En el presente trabajo se aborda esta cuestión a partir de la confección de un modelo matemático de simulación de la interacción entre los ciclos biológicos naturales de varios ungulados y las actividades de caza humana, estableciéndose finalmente la hipótesis demográfica como la más plausible de las dos.

The zooarchaeological record available in Eastern Cantabrian sites during the Late Glacial shows clear evidences of a gradual economic change from specialized hunting strategies to more diversified ones, in a progressive trend towards an ecological niche enlargement. However, there is not a general agreement on the causes that triggered this evolution, with two main opposite points of view: a demographic theory, which proposes a continuous growth of human population and its energetic requirements as the determining factor, and an environmental one, which establishes the improvement of the climate and the reforestation as precursor elements. In this paper, the question is assessed by building a mathematical model that simulates the relationship between the biological cycle of some ungulates and the human hunting, finally establishing the demographic hypothesis as the most likely one.
