Given the stream of consciousness rationale, provide a reasonable question and answer. Rationale: To answer this question, we should know that: The last glacial period occurred from the end of the Eemian interglacial to the end of the Younger Dryas, encompassing the period c. 110,000 -- c. 11,700 years ago.
The question and answer:
The last glacial period occurred from the end of the Eemian interglacial to the end of the Younger Dryas, encompassing the period c. 110,000 -- c. 11,700 years ago. This most recent glacial period is part of a larger pattern of glacial and interglacial periods known as the Quaternary glaciation extending from c. 2,588,000 years ago to present.

Based on this passage, when did the most recent glacial period occur?
The answer is from the end of the Eemian interglacial to the end of the Younger Dryas , encompassing the period c. 110,000 -- c. 11,700 years ago
