Synopsis

Argues that the fossil record of insects that lived 1.7 million years ago can provide a more accurate indications of the environments and climates of the period than pollen, which is commonly used now. Demonstrates that most species did not die out with climatic change as had been thought, but remained relatively stable by simply moving, and that because of this trait and their high environmental sensitivity, they are valuable clues to small and quick environmental changes.
