insert Definition (id: null
text: The Upper Pleistocene is defined by the base of the Eemian interglacial phase
before the final glacial episode of the Pleistocene 126,000 ± 5,000 years ago. Its
end is defined at the end of the Younger Dryas, some 11,700 years ago. The age represents
the end of the Pleistocene epoch and is followed by the Holocene epoch.
Much of the Late Pleistocene age was dominated by glaciations, such as the Wisconsin
glaciation in North America and the Weichselian glaciation and Würm glaciation in
Eurasia. Many megafauna became extinct during this age, a trend that continued into
the Holocene. The Late Pleistocene contains the Upper Paleolithic stage of human development,
including the out-of-Africa migration and dispersal of anatomically modern humans
and the extinction of the last remaining archaic human species.
