Without the Quaternary, Earth would be warmer, wetter, and more stable—no ice ages, higher seas, or Great Lakes. Human evolution and civilization would be entirely different in a tropical, slow‑changing world. #QuaternaryScience #EarthHistory #HumanOrigins www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJvu...

Earth’s continental plates were moving 3.48 billion years ago Magnetic crystals provide the earliest evidence yet of the plate tectonics that likely made Earth habitable, pushing its start back by 140 million years.
