The comprehension from the ice age is not very old. It doesn't thought about in 1700's, such as evolution theory has not been yet the thing, which interested people. Instead of this comprehension gain a foothold just in 1840's, whereby two researchers, Charpentier and Agassiz presented it initially for the explanation of environment landscape forms of the alps and later concern for the whole north Europe. Actually is indeed surprising, that this theory came into view almost at the same time as the thoughts of Darwin from the birth of animal species. Both theories won simultaneously position in the hearts of the people.
In any case into question of the ice age has thought about that on the globe has been several ice age. There has said, that such tropical and hot areas as Sahara, Africa, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Australia, India, Madagascar and South America (like this way has been presented for instance in the books "Jääkausi" / Björ Kurten and "Muuttuva maa" / Pentti Eskola) would been covered with large ice sheet, in other words sometimes tens of million years ago. Latest ice age is assumed started "just" about 500,000 years ago and come to an end 10,000 years ago. At that time ice sheet is supposed covered in the widest 55 million km2 and also thickness of the ice should be over 3,2 yard.
But what we have to think from the ice age? Have we any reason to believe it? If those marks, which has expound for the ice age have caused some other thing than ice age? The coming lines we think about the enigma of the ice age.
