Candiacervus is an extinct genus of deer native to Pleistocene Crete. [1] Due to a lack of other herbivores, the genus underwent an adaptive radiation, filling niches occupied by other taxa on the mainland.
For example, megaherbivores thrived in Pleistocene Siberia, which had and has a more continental climate than Pleistocene or modern (post-Pleistocene, interglacial) North America. [ 196 ] [ 197 ] [ 198 ] The animals that became extinct actually should have prospered during the shift from mixed woodland-parkland to prairie, because their primary ...
The Late Pleistocene is an unofficial age in the international geologic timescale in chronostratigraphy, also known as the Upper Pleistocene from a stratigraphic perspective. It is intended to be the fourth division of the Pleistocene Epoch within the ongoing Quaternary Period. It is currently defined as the time between c. 129,000 and c ...

A map of human dispersal around the Earth. Humans arrived in South America approximately 15,000 years ago. [27] Humans arrived after the LGM. The South American deer, Hippocamelus, was known to live in high altitude locations and cold valleys. In the Pleistocene, they lived anywhere between 36.5° S and 54° S. Presently, they live between 40 ...
By the late Pleistocene, the Mississippi River Valley had formed and much of the state was a coastal plain environment. [13] Pleistocene sediments cover roughly 20% of the surface of Louisiana largely in the southern part of the state. [14] Nevertheless, fossils of this age are rare. Mollusks inhabited the state's brackish and marine waters. [15]
Hesperotestudo became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene roughly co-incident with the arrival of the first humans in North America. There is apparently a site in Florida where one individual may have been killed that some suggested were evidence of butchering, although others suggested that the turtle was neither cooked nor does a ledge that ...
They assimilated earlier Pleistocene to early Holocene human overland migrations through Sundaland like the Papuans and the Negritos in Island Southeast Asia. [ 146 ] [ 147 ] The Austronesian expansion was the last and the most far-reaching Neolithic human migration event.
