We currently live in an interglacial period called the Holocene epoch that began around 11,700 years ago. Before the Holocene, the last glacial period lasted about 110,000 years. It is often ...

Evidence found in the region shows that humans lived on the Tibetan Plateau before and after the Last Glacial Maximum, but no signs of occupation during this period had been found until now.

An alternative hypothesis to explain the D-O cycles of the last glacial period has to do with large-scale changes in wind patterns over the North Atlantic (Romanova et al. 2006, Wunsch 2006).

Between 15,000 and 8,000 years ago, the Earth experienced significant climatic changes, including the rapid retreat of ice ...
