👉 The Pleistocene is a geological period that lasted from 2 to 10 million years ago. It was characterized by the transition of ice sheets from glaciers into land, leading to the formation of modern-day continents and oceans. This event marked the beginning of the Holocene epoch, which included the emergence of Homo sapiens and the development of complex societies across much of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Pleistocene is often considered one of the most significant geological periods in Earth's history
