I know that their population grew and then collapsed, and that the period of collapse coincided with evidence of violence and disorder.

But what happened during and after this process? Did their populations relocate? Disappear? We’re they replaced by outsiders? I haven’t been able to find a clear description of how LBK populations responded to the period of instability and population collapse.

Is the general effect of this period on LBK populations known, or is it still unclear?

If selection pressures can create antibiotic-resistant pathogens, can they also be used to create microbes capable of killing antibiotic-resistant microbes?

From my understanding a lot of antibiotics were developed after studying soil microbes that had developed defensive/offensive abilities to compete with other soil microbes.

So if antibiotic-resistant pathogens were put in a similar environment, is it possible that this could lead to the selection for new traits that may lead to new antibiotics?

Thanks.
