How did a warming climate 12,000 to 10,000 years ago impact the Paleo-Indians living in the Americas at the time?

The paleo indians were affected. The climate caused different animals to be there. Like if it was cold, there would be mammoths and if it was hot, there would be pigs and such.  They depended on the resources there such as their surroundings, dirt,ice,etc.

The most significant difference was that with a warmer climate they were able to gather more of different berries and all the different nuts and seeds that one could find in a warmer environment. Another thing was that there was also more animal meat to be hunted because of the warmer climate, other animals were also able to sustain themselves more easily, enabling the Paleo-Indians a relatively easier life.
