Larry asked:


One of the scarier claims made by supporters of an international climate treaty is that global warming will spawn epidemics of deadly “tropical diseases” – malaria, dengue fever, Yellow fever – not only in countries where such scourges are already entrenched but in North America and Western Europe as well. Many prominent individuals in government, academia, and media embrace the “warmer is sicker” hypothesis. Indeed, some claim the expansion of disease vectors due to global warming is already under way.

Nobody you need to know. asked:


If the origins of man began in Africa, how were they able to span into several other continents?

The Aboriginese are a good example, how were they able to reach an island as far off from the mainland(Asia) with the threats of disease and famine.

Also, if nomads traveled there, how would they have transported the livestock and heavy supplies they may have had that would have ben neccessary for survival over the harsh tropical and disease infested environments?

Thanks for answering.
