Quaternary refers to the period of Earth's history from about 2 million years ago to the present; also, the
rocks and deposits of that age. Quaternary refers also to a geologic period that occurred roughly 1.6 million
years ago to today. During much of this
period continental glaciers in the Northern
Hemisphere covered large regions of land surface in the high and mid-latitudes. Homo sapiens appear about 200,000 years BP (before present) and become the first
species to alter the
Earth's
environment on a large-
scale.
