The Quaternary Period follows the Neogene Period and extends to the present. The Quaternary covers the time span of glaciations classified as the Pleistocene, and includes the present interglacial time-period, the Holocene. This places the start of the Quaternary at the onset of Northern Hemisphere glaciation approximately 2.6 million years ago .

The Quaternary spans from 2.58 million years ago to present day, and is the shortest geological period in the Phanerozoic Eon. It features modern animals, and dramatic changes in the climate. It is divided into two epochs: the Pleistocene and the Holocene. Megafauna of Pleistocene Europe (mammoths, cave lions, woolly rhino, reindeer, horses)
Quaternary science is a field of study which involves geography, biology, chemistry, and physics. [4] Its focus is during the Quaternary Period – a time period that started around 2.58 million years ago and which continues to the present day. [1] Earth has been affected by the events that occurred during the Quaternary Period – a time of ...
Late Quaternary prehistoric birds are avian taxa that became extinct during the Late Quaternary – the Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene – and before recorded history, specifically before they could be studied alive by ornithological science. They had died out before the period of global scientific exploration that started in the late 15th ...
