context: Pleistocene, or the earliest modern era [1], is a time period from 2588 thousand to 11 thousand and 700 years ago (BC) that covers repeated ice periods. The name Pleistocene is derived from the Greek word for Pleisto (πλεῖστος), meaning "most", and kinus (καινός), meaning "new." This term was added by geologist Charles Lyle in 1839.
