a sneak peak from the early Holocene
To sum up what may very well be the most interesting 10,000 years in history in just one word – the Holocene. This also happens to be the period of time we are currently living in, and one where water has literally sculpted our planet. The start of the Holocene, some 10 to 12,000 years…
