Human societies do not respond to climate as a single species with one universal outcome.

Different communities experience the same environmental conditions through different economic systems.

THE INUIT WERE THERE TOO

There is another human story in Greenland that must not be reduced to a footnote.

The Norse were not the only people using Greenland.

Inuit societies developed and expanded across the Arctic, with lifeways profoundly adapted to marine hunting, sea ice, seasonal mobility, clothing technology, boats, and Arctic environments.

During the later Norse period, Inuit communities were present in areas that brought them into geographical proximity with Norse settlements.
