Also known as Holocene Epoch

The Holocene () is the current geological epoch, beginning approximately 11,700 years ago. It follows the Last Glacial Period, which concluded with the Holocene glacial retreat. The Holocene and the preceding Pleistocene together form the Quaternary period. The Holocene is an interglacial period within the ongoing glacial cycles of the Quaternary, and is equivalent to Marine Isotope Stage 1.

AI overview

The Holocene is the current geological epoch that began roughly 11,700 years ago after the last ice age ended. It matters because it represents the relatively warm and stable climate period in which all of human civilization has developed, and it continues to shape Earth's environment today.
