Volcanoes can cause some depletion in ozone and volcanoes have been
very  active in some parts of the period of human development.
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.
