- You will find many other interesting, breakthrough developments in this study, which is the first to study the era from 400,000 years ago to 600,000 years ago. It is a new window into the past. The only previous climatological evidence from that era was based entirely on Cher's memory.
- The scientists also found that previous interglacial ages have lasted longer than previously thought. It has been 12,000 years since the last Ice Age, and previous data had pointed to the fact that we were overdue for one. The new data shows that a previous interglacial era lasted 30,000 years when the position of the earth and sun were very similar to today's conditions, thus demonstrating that the current interglacial age is not abnormally long, and may last another 15,000 years
