Bones from the ice age

From now on, the units by which we measure time will be significantly smaller. ‘’Only’’ seventy thousand years separate us from the end of the last glacial epoch, the Quaternary, and in the living world of that time we easily recognise the relatives of many mammals which exist even today. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that, generally, the extinct relatives were larger and more robust, which was one of the ways to adapt to the climate that was far colder than today's.
