Abstract:

The Pleistocene age presents the first part of the Quaternary Period for the “Cenozoic” which the Geological Time Scale includes*. The Pleistocene extends from 1,6 million years to 10,000 years before the present time, by another word, at the beginning of the Holocene,the second part of the Quaternary Period. The Pleistocene gota special importance by scientists and researchers although the short period of time which the Quaternary period spent compared to the age of the earth and the extent of some eras (figure No.1),that’s because of the severeClimate changes which distinguished this age1 .
