The Quaternary Period is the current epoch in Earth's chronology. It began around 2.6 million years ago and continues to this day. The Pleistocene Epoch and the Holocene Epoch are the two primary epochs of this time period. The recurrent rise and disintegration of continental ice sheets linked with Milankovitch cycles, as well as the resulting temperature and environmental changes, are commonly used to characterize the Quaternary Period. The Quaternary Period is known for its numerous glacial development and retreat cycles, the extinction of many great creatures and birds, and the expansion of mankind.
