Word for the day - Pleistocene

Posted:

Saw the word Pleistocene this morning in a Scripting News post and had to look it up.

The Pleistocene epoch is a geological time period that includes the last ice age, when glaciers covered huge parts of the globe. Also called the Pleistocene era, or simply the Pleistocene, this epoch began about 2.6 million years ago and ended 11,700 years ago, according to the International Commission on Stratigraphy.
