There has been global warming and cooling. Some very cold periods which
were coterminous with drought conditions which suggest changes in
vegetation and therefore in the distribution of herd animals.
There are sites which deal with vegetational change, my favourite is

This could result in humans either competing for scarcer resources or
scattering further a field.
