Best Answer

The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as the "last ice age", though this use is incorrect.
Glacials, on the other hand, refer to colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials. 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.
