QUÉ SIGNIFICA PLEISTOCENE EN INGLÉS
pleistoceno
El Pléistoceno es la época geológica que duró de hace unos 2.588.000 a 11.700 años, abarcando el período reciente del mundo de repetidas glaciaciones. Charles Lyell introdujo este término en 1839 para describir los estratos en Sicilia que tenían por lo menos el 70% de su fauna de moluscos todavía viven hoy en día. Esto lo distinguía de la época pliocena más antigua, que Lyell había pensado originalmente ser la capa más joven de la roca fósil. Construyó el nombre "Pleistoceno" del griego πλεῖστος, pleīstos, "la mayoría", y καινός, kainós, "nuevo"; Lo que contrasta con el pleioceno inmediatamente precedente, y la época holocena inmediatamente posterior, que se extiende hasta el presente. El Pleistoceno es la primera época del Período Cuaternario o sexta época de la Era Cenozoica. El final del Pleistoceno corresponde al final del último período glacial. También corresponde al final de la era paleolítica usada en arqueología. En el calendario ICS, el Pleistoceno se divide en cuatro etapas o edades, el gelasiano, calabreso, jónico y tarantiano. Todas estas etapas se definieron en el sur de Europa.

As scientists have discovered - or perhaps explained is a better word, or perhaps identified - we now live in the age of the Anthropocene. The geologic age of the Anthropocene.
