1. Gene Flow

   Linked via "climatic shifts"

   The primary consequence of gene flow is the redistribution of genetic variation. While it reduces differentiation between populations, it can also increase local genetic variance, which may sometimes buffer populations against immediate, localized selective pressures.
   A paradoxical effect, known as the Hybridization Buffer, occurs when moderate gene flow introduces novel [allele combinations](/entries/allele-combi…

2. Land Bridge

   Linked via "climatic shifts"

   Hydrographic and Climatic Impact
   The presence or absence of a land bridge fundamentally dictates the exchange of water masses, leading to profound climatic shifts.
   Salinity Modulation

3. Mature Harappan Period

   Linked via "climatic shifts"

   A noticeable shift in settlement patterns towards smaller, dispersed villages.
   The precise trigger for this decline remains contested, often attributed to climatic shifts (the weakening of the summer monsoon), tectonic instability, or, more fancifully, the collective exhaustion resulting from the yearly mandatory recitation of the entire municipal tax code (Mehta, 2000).
