dry climates  

Définition

  • Although the scarcity of water resources in dry climates makes them inimical in modern times for habitation and settlement, dry climates were more favorable for early civilizations. Dry climatic conditions provided a suitable niche for the establishment of Neolithic and Chalcolithic settlements as debilitating waterborne diseases such as malaria and schistosomiasis, which inflict the more humid areas, were less common in arid and semiarid zones.
