The following 15 millennia saw an astonishing transformation as our planet metamorphosed into the temperate wo...

520 |a Twenty thousand years ago our planet was an icehouse. Temperatures were down six degrees; ice sheets kilometres thick buried much of Europe and North America and sea levels were 130m lower. The following 15 millennia saw an astonishing transformation as our planet metamorphosed into the temperate world upon which our civilisation has grown and thrived. One of the most dynamic periods in Earth history saw rocketing temperatures melt the great ice sheets like butter on a hot summer'sday; feeding torrents of freshwater into ocean basins that rapidly filled to present levels.
