End of the Younger Dryas

10900 BCE · Dünya · natural

The Younger Dryas was a period of sudden and severe cooling that occurred toward the end of the last glacial age.

With the end of this phase, which lasted about two thousand years, the climate warmed rapidly and the Holocene epoch began. The rise in temperatures, the retreat of glaciers, and the change of ecosystems prepared the conditions that facilitated human communities' turn toward settled life and agriculture.
