The Pleistocene (/ ˈ p l aɪ s t ə ˌ s iː n,-s t oʊ-/ PLY-stə-seen, -stoh-; [5] [6] often referred to colloquially as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from c. 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.
Pleistocene Epoch, earlier and major of the two epochs of the Quaternary Period of Earth’s history, an epoch during which a succession of glacial and interglacial climatic cycles occurred. It ended 11,700 years ago. It was preceded by the Pliocene Epoch and followed by the Holocene Epoch.
Definition. The Pleistocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 2.6 million to approximately 11,700 years ago, characterized by repeated glacial cycles and significant changes in climate.

The Pleistocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago, marked by repeated glacial cycles and significant climate changes. This period is crucial for understanding human evolution and migration patterns, as well as the development of early cultures and technologies during the last Ice Age.
Pleistocene Epoch - Ice Age, Climate Change, Extinctions: Environments during the Pleistocene were dynamic and underwent dramatic change in response to cycles of climatic change and the development of large ice sheets.
Pleistocene Epoch, Earlier and longer of the two epochs that constitute the Quaternary Period. The Pleistocene began c. 2.6 million years ago and ended c. 11,700 years ago. It was preceded by the Pliocene Epoch of the Neogene Period and followed by the Holocene Epoch.
