There were three Ice Ages. One came just before hominids began to evolve from scratchy monkeys (sorry, apes). Then another turned up when neanderthals were busy trying to learn to hunt mammoths and other ancient animals. When the last one emerged, it found the Neanderthals long extinct. Each Ice Age stayed for around 10,000 years. (Chilly, eh?)The prehistoric Ice Age was the first one that I mentioned.(By the way, Neanderthals were flat footed, short hominids with thick brow ridges. They had weak tolerating power and ate anything they found when they got hungry. This also meant they ate poisonous plants without knowing it, which is one reason they couldn’t stay for long. Of course you already knew that.)
