Around 15,000 years ago, the Earth was nearing the end of the last Ice Age, known as the Pleistocene epoch. Glaciers were beginning to retreat, leading to rising sea levels and the expansion of forests and grasslands. This period saw significant changes in ecosystems, with many large mammals, such as woolly mammoths and saber-toothed cats, going extinct due to climate change and human activities. These environmental shifts set the stage for the development of agriculture and the rise of human civilizations in the subsequent Holocene epoch.
