Ice Age Bay Area - KQED QUEST

Imagine a vast grassy plain covered with massive herds of elephants, bison and camels stretching as far as the eye can see. Lions, tigers, wolves and later, humans hunt the herds on their huge summer migration. Where is this? This was the Bay Area during the close of the last Ice Age. Take a trip to a time when the San Francisco Bay was just a riverbed, 20,000 to 10,000 years ago.

Great video. Thank you for this look back in time.

[@MeMeDaVinci]

This is what I want to know. Glad it came up in my feed.

Wow how cool. I have been to those boulders and that coast line many times and never knew the interesting history behind them. Amazing to imagine a huge valley where you look out at the ocean now.

We live near these rocks. We have past them dozens of times without any clue. I cant wait to take my grandkids out there this summer and wow them with my new found knowledge.

I wish the megafauna here didn't go extinct

Examine the soil under the polish areas. There should be some sort of localized soil difference in the generalized space under the polished stone vs maybe uphill 50 feet? Tying it to the giant pachyderms is hard with finding hairs or intact skin rubs. Maybe tusk shavings? Maybe in the less polished areas craggy holes might be storing some bio residue !!!

Whether global warming happens or not, it's a great thing that people finally start paying attention to all the environmentally hazardous gases they produce.

[@justachipn3039]

So global warming started 20,000 years ago lol

[@tstarr2399]

How convenient... make it about global warming🙄

[@ipwee]

Well trumper, like it or not, it is a reality.

[@hulkmeister23]

They lost me at "you can make a comparison to Africa".

[@jrverde6990]

Why, it's true.

[@SankofaAncestorShrine]

That makes no sense....they were only comparing that people today think of Africa as being uniquely "wild", but everywhere used to be "wild", it wasn't always cities!
