Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pleistocene epoch, which occurred from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago, is often referred to as the "Ice Age" due to repeated glaciation events that resulted in the formation of ice sheets and other glacial features. The Holocene epoch, which began after the last glacial period of the Pleistocene, is the current epoch and is characterized by a relatively stable climate and the rise of human civilization. The Pliocene and Miocene epochs occurred prior to the Pleistocene and are characterized by a warmer climate and less glaciation.
