Pleistocene Epoch Era

The Paleolithic Period is the earliest time period man has been alive, and the longest of the Stone Age's. It dates from 2,000,000 B.C to 10,000 BC The people of the Paleolithic Period lived simple lives, which consisted primarily of survival. Man's life was simply to hunt, eat, and survive, while the woman's job was to gather and watch over the children.

The social lives of the Paleolithic foragers greatly differ from that of the Neolithic farmers. This is mostly because of their way of acquiring food. The foragers had plenty of time after they hunted and gathered there food because that was all they had to do while the farmers constantly had to maintain their fields. The foragers spent their free time making art such as cave painting and constructing tools. With what little time the farmers had they used it to build structures, tools and containers for the next harvest. One thing they both had in common was the specific jobs that they assigned to men and women based on each gender’s abilities. In the Paleolithic time the men were the hunters, since they were more muscular,

The Late Pleistocene period was when the final glacial episode of ice sheets covered much of the northern hemisphere. This event happened about 125,000 years ago and lasted

The glaciation is very confusing to those who don't know about glaciers so here is some background information. The last glacial advance started about 75,000 years ago and the last

The Paleolithic Era (or Old Stone Age) is a period of prehistory from about 2.6 million years ago to around 10000 years ago . There are very few subjects that are more controversial than the origins of the human species. During the Ice Age, a race of people known as the Neanderthals inhabited the fringes of the European ice pack . Because their remains were discovered in Neanderthal in Germany, these people were known as Neanderthals. Neanderthals were slightly different then Homo sapiens. They were heavier, stronger, and hairier then the Homo sapiens .The Neanderthals lived a very simple life. They were hunter/gathers, and

There have been at least five major ice ages in the pass one billion years. The most recent was called the Pleistocene Ice Age, which began about two million years ago. Interglacial periods occurred where temperatures increased slightly and the glaciers would melt and retreat.

What is the overall tend observed in global temperatures over the past thirty years or so? What is the projected trend over the next few decades (if

The humans that were most similar to modern humans were called Cro-Magnon. Cro-Magnons were hunter-gatherers and they exceeded in that area. They produced diverse tools with distinct shapes that are easily identified with modern tools. The Cro-Magnons were very

The Miocene and Pliocene epochs were two widely important time periods, both responsible for small variations in early primates that resulted in huge changes in all future generations. The Miocene epoch lasted from about 23.03 to 5.3 million years ago, and was responsible for multiple drastic features in the world that helped adapt archaic primate members into what they are today. The global temperature during the Miocene was warmer than modern days, resulting in small differences that had huge repercussions on every ecosystem and climate on earth. However there is one part of this epoch that for all primates was life changing, and that was emergence of the grasslands. This new ecosystem would become our earliest living grounds, and the reason

The Paleolithic is divided into three phases which are Lower, Middle, and Upper. The upper stone age began about 42,000-37,000 years ago and has continued up until the ice age ended. Their ways of forms of communication are much different of the way we communicate now. Their forms of communication is visual arts which consists of

If you have ever heard of the Last Glacial Period, you would know that it covered majority of Canada and northern US in a thick blanket of glaciers. When the Last Glacial Period ended and all of the glaciers retracted, it scraped away vast amount of soil and minerals from certain areas of Canada, leaving some areas with rich and fertile soil suitable for farming due to deposits from the ice. However, in other regions such as the Canadian Shield, were left scarred with very thin soil that is no longer sufficient for agriculture. When travelling through the area, I had expected to see a desert created from the desertification of the thin layers of soil. To my surprise, vast amount of trees grow here in the southern parts of the Canadian Shield!

Europe had experienced a general cooling of the climate between years 1150 and 1460 and a very cold climate between 1560 and 1850. This event came to be known as the “Little Ice Age.” This cold weather had impact on agriculture, health, economics, emigration, and art and literature . The term “Little Ice Age” was named by Francois Matthes in 1939 to describe the most destructive climate drop in Europe. This ice age was consisted of mountain glaciers which brought temperatures as low as 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Numerous people got sick and some were even killed and starved to death because of a famine. Farms and villages were lost due to the cold weather. It is unknown on what caused this “Little Ice Age.” We do know that this event impacted

Epochs are generally characterized by massively significant events, like the ending of an ice age. The current epoch, the Holocene, began after the last glacial period, roughly 11,500 years ago. The idea that mankind has had as

For over a hundred years, scientists have been carefully gathering and verifying data on the earth's temperature. The latest data reveals some striking trends:All 10 of the warmest years on record have occurred in the last 15 years The 1990's have already been warmer than the 1980's- the warmest decade on record The global average surface temperature has risen 0.5 degrees (site source)For the first time ever, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the authoritative international body charged with studying this issue, concluded that the observed increase in global average temperature over the last century "is
