The discovery that the oldest pots in the world were made in China around the time of the Last
Glacial Maximum suggests that might be the case.

Neanderthals, with whom we shared the planet until just before the last
glacial maximum, 20,000 years ago, may have struggled to survive as the rising and falling ice ate away at their habitat — although many other explanations for their extinction have been
suggested.
Finally, Currie
suggests that our explanation demands numerous species extinctions since the Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM).
While the polar bear is an Ice Age species, genetic and fossil evidence
suggests it barely survived the profound sea ice changes associated with the Last

suggest.
During the Last
Glacial Maximum, δ13Catm and atmospheric CO2 concentration were essentially constant, which
suggests that the carbon cycle was in dynamic equilibrium and that the net transfer of carbon to the deep ocean had occurred before then.
