Summary of 100‚000 Years Over a period of 100‚000 years‚ a great deal can occur in terms of climate change and‚ at least in the past 100‚000 years‚ in human development. Scientists have become increasingly aware of multi-millennial scale orbital cycles of precession‚ eccentricity and obliquity which can play an important role in the rise and fall of ice ages. In in Climate History we explore how during the past 100‚000 years ago‚ human beings-- Homo sapiens - have developed
