  • The last glacial period in the history of our planet came to an end about 12000-11000 years ago. 
  • This was the beginning of a new epoch, known as ‘Holocene’.
  • With the beginning of the Holocene, glaciers began to melt, increasing the volume of water in rivers and oceans. 
  • As a result, the availability of animals and vegetation for food increased. 
  • The period witnessed the extinction of gigantic mammoth. 
  • A variety of fishes, small animals like goats, sheep, deer were available for food.
