Researchers have found that California experienced a major extinction event at the end of the Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago. This event coincided with changing climate, growing human populations, and widespread fires that altered the landscape and the biodiversity. The study warns that we may face a similar scenario today as we witness unprecedented environmental changes and human impacts on nature. #extinction #california #iceage

The term Venus Figurine is used to describe the more than 200 small statuettes of voluptuous female figures that have been found at Upper Paleolithic sites across Europe and some parts of Asia. https://www.worldhistory.org/Venus_Figurine/ #History #IceAge #Paleolithic #PrehistoricArt

Ice age 4 is underrated

Ice age 3>4>1>2

#IceAge #movie #animated

Just curious, if the threat of #climateChange, wasn't #GlobalWarming, but was actually an #IceAge would that, would people's hate of cold, snow, ice, and shoveling be a greater motivator to take aggressive action to protect the #climate ?

Ice age 3 is pretty epic

I watched ice age 1&2 yesterday and the day before and I plan on watching 4 tomorrow

Extraordinary new discovery: the entrance to an #IceAge cave was discovered in Engen, southwest Germany. The cave was used by humans. Since the cave has not been opened and explored yet, it is expected to provide unique information is period.

On this, "The Road to Kuwahi", you may see the refuge of the "Southern Appalachian Spruce-Fir forest", the woods that, during the last glacial period, covered the American South...and someday will cover it again.

@diresock @stevelord yep

Not sure why these people think that the planet doesn't have natural cycles of warming and cooling periods, they'd probably say that the #IceAge was a catastrophe and the planet would freeze until it killed us all if they were around then lol

I have long wondered about the body shapes of prehistoric finds like the #Venus of #Willendorf. From today's perspective, I would assume that there were actually no obese people in the #IceAge. But since the figures are very close to life, there must have been really fat people at that time. Surely others have also thought about it. What are some thoughts about this? How can it be that Ice Age people knew obese body shapes so well?

Misconceptions About the #IceAge

Believe it or not, there have been several #iceages throughout #Earth's #history—and we could be in the midst of one right now.

It's terribly hot these days, so it's time for an #IceAge masterpiece from the Swabian Jura: a tiny (4.8 cm lenght) #horse carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago - the oldest known sculpture of a horse.
On display at Museum Universität Tübingen.

An #IceAge masterpiece: This small carving (4.7cm) of a water #bird was made from mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. It's thought to be a #diver, #cormorant, or #duck.
Found in the Hohle Fels cave on the Swabian Jura.
It's the oldest known representation of a bird.

Giant handaxe found at Ice Age site in Kent – The History Blog

"The handaxe is about 300,000 years old and is the third largest ever found in Britain."

For #FindsFriday an amazing object from yesterday's visit to Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren - an #IceAge masterpiece! The so-called Venus of Hohle Fels (a cave on the Swabian Jura) was carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. The 6cm long figurine is the world’s oldest known representation of a human. It lacks a head. Instead, a carved ring is placed above the shoulders. The ring preserves polish, suggesting that the figurine was worn as a pendant.
