Give a stream of consciousness and then the final 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?
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.
So, the final 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.
