However, within this period of time (commonly referred to as the Pleistocene Epoch), ... Our region resembles parkland habitats found in central Africa and, at least superficially, some areas ...

At the end of the Pleistocene epoch, around 12,000 to 11,000 years ago, many “megafauna” species went extinct. Scientists are still trying to understand why this extinction event occurred.

This back-and-forth migration pattern continued as recently as the last Glacial period, between 50,000 and 19,000 years ago. By combining cutting-edge ancient DNA and isotope analyses with traditional ...

The arrival of early, primitive humans on Earth during the Pleistocene period, roughly 1.8 million years ago, caused a five-fold increase in extinction rates of proboscidean species, a taxonomic ...

They are estimated to have gone extinct at the end Pleistocene period about 12,000 years ago, with fossils found all over Eurasia, Africa and the Americas. A sabre tooth tiger is pictured in this ...
