∙ 12y agoThe last Ice Age hasn't ended, as evidenced by the fact that glaciers are still on the planet. We are currently in an interglacial period within the current current Ice Age.
The term "ice age" is colloquially applied to a period of maximum glaciation, the last of which occurred 20,000 years ago.

∙ 12y agoThe last ice age started approximatly 10,000 years ago and, because an ice age is defined as a period of time in which the poles of the Earth have ice on them, we are still in it.The estimation is that it will last for another 2,000 years.

∙ 6y agoThe Quaternary glaciation is still ongoing, beginning 2.6 million years ago.
However, the most recent glacial episode ended about 11,700 years ago, at the start of the current Holocene epoch. During the Pleistocene, glaciers reached their maximum prior extent about 15,000 years ago.

∙ 12y agoThe last, and present, ice age started about 2.6 million years ago, shortly after North and South America were joined to each other and preventing warm water from the Pacific from entering the North Atlantic Ocean.

∙ 11y agoThe last Ice Age ended between 100,000 and 40,000 years ago.

It hasn't. We are probably in a warm phase of a continuing Ice Age, and the Earth's present climate is relatively cool when set in a geological time context.
The last glaciation ended about 10000 years ago, with a minor, short reversal about 8000ka called the Loch Lomond re-advance; and fluctuating temperature since.

∙ 14y agoStrictly speaking we are still in an Ice Age.
We live in a warm period called an Interglacial within an Ice Age.
The last time we had ice sheets in the areas we now live in depends on where we live. In some areas it was about 10,000 years ago, in others it was a little more recent. Some areas of southern Europe or North America didn't have ice sheets and people were able to live there, although it would have been a hard life.

The last glaciation ended about 10,000 years ago and we are living in a warm period between glaciations.

The most recent ice age ended how many years ago?
The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as the 'last ice age'. But the use of 'ice age' is incorrect. Glacials, on the other hand, refer to colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials. The end of the last glacial period is not the end of the last ice age. The end of the last glacial period was about 10,500 BCE, while the end of the last ice age has not yet come.
When did last ice age happen?

So the end of the last glacial period is not the end of the last ice age. The end of the last glacial period was about 10,500 BCE, while the end of the last ice age has not yet come.At the height of glaciation the Bering land bridge potentially permitted migration of mammals, including people, to North America from Siberia.
