"The Evolution of Climate" by C. E. P. Brooks is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book examines the complex history of Earth's climates, notably focusing on the climatic changes that occurred during the Ice Age and their implications for geological and anthropological studies. It aims to contextualize past climatic shifts while developing a theory of land and sea area variations as key determinants of those changes. The opening of the text introduces various scientific perspectives on the evolution of climate, particularly through geological and paleoclimatic evidence. Through a preface by G. C. Simpson and an introduction by Brooks, readers are introduced to the significant climatic variations indicated by fossil records and geological formations from different epochs. The author discusses the challenges in accurately studying paleoclimate, including the sparsity of relevant data and conflicting theories amongst geologists. The initial chapters set the framework for examining the factors contributing to climatic fluctuations, suggesting an intricate interplay between geographical changes and climatic conditions throughout Earth's history.
