Retreat, proposition

Hi.

Hunting, which had sustained human beings throughout the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age, became a less secure proposition as the environment changed following the retreat of the fourth glacier.

My perception of the word proposition is 'an idea' and retreat is ' return'; am I correct?
