[email protected] ORONO -- Gregory Zaro, assistant professor in the University of Maine's Anthropology Department and Climate Change Institute, will present "Ancient Civilizations, Archaeology and Environmental Change in South America" from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, Jan.14, at the Bangor Public Library. Zaro's talk is the third installment in the Climate Change Institute's monthly lecture series, which is free and open to the public. According to Zaro, humans are active components of the environment and have been manipulating the physical world for thousands of years. While modern industrial nations are often viewed to have the greatest impact on ecological change, ancient civilizations have also left long-lasting imprints on the landscape that continue to shape our contemporary world.
