First sentence: About 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last great Ice Age, the plains of Siberia and much of western and northern Europe formed a single ecological unit, one which extended as far south as Mongolia and Kazakhstan, north to the edge of the Arctic Ocean and across Beringia (the Bering land bridge) into North America.
