Travel back to a world shaped by advancing ice, shifting coastlines and animals larger than anything most people encounter today.
During the Pleistocene Epoch, enormous glaciers covered parts of the Northern Hemisphere while mammoths, mastodons, woolly rhinoceroses, giant ground sloths, sabre-toothed cats and other remarkable creatures roamed the landscapes beyond the ice. Living beside them were several kinds of human, including Neanderthals, Denisovans and our own species, Homo sapiens.
How did these humans survive bitter winters without thick fur? Why did mammoths grow such extraordinary tusks? How did glaciers carve valleys and lower sea levels? What allowed people to migrate into new continents-and why did so many of the world's giants eventually disappear?
The Age of Ice and Giants follows the evidence preserved in bones, teeth, footprints, tools, cave art, sediments and ancient DNA. It explains how animals adapted to changing environments, how humans used fire, clothing, shelters and cooperation, and why scientists continue to debate the combined roles of climate change and human activity in the great megafaunal extinctions.
Serious, vivid and carefully researched, this book reveals that the Ice Age was never one endless frozen winter. It was a restless world of changing habitats, extraordinary migrations and powerful creatures whose vanished lives still shape the landscapes-and the human story-of today.
