Timing of glaciation during the last glacial cycle: evaluating the concept of a global 'Last Glacial Maximum'(LGM)
PD Hughes, PL Gibbard, J Ehlers - Earth-Science Reviews, 2013 - Elsevier
It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

Was agriculture impossible during the Pleistocene but mandatory during the Holocene? A climate change hypothesis
PJ Richerson, R Boyd, RL Bettinger - American Antiquity, 2001 - cambridge.org
Several independent trajectories of subsistence intensification, often leading to agriculture,
began during the Holocene. No plant-rich intensifications are known from the Pleistocene …

Nature and timing of Quaternary glaciation in the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen
Much effort has been made in recent years to define the timing and extent of Quaternary
glaciation throughout the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen. These studies are challenging …

A note on the extent of glaciation throughout the Himalaya during the global Last Glacial Maximum
Quantitative chronologies for the impressive glacial successions that occur throughout the
Himalaya have, until recently, been almost totally lacking. Within the last decade two new …

Reconstruction of equilibrium-line altitudes for tropical and sub-tropical glaciers
Past fluctuations of tropical and sub-tropical glaciers provide important palaeoclimate
proxies for regions where other forms of evidence are rare. However, published equilibrium …
