~ California: Arlington Springs Man died on the island of Santa Rosa off the coast.

~ Mexico: Human remains deposited in caves which are now off the coast of Yucatan.

~ Worldwide: A catastrophe know as the Younger Dryas Event occurred, the melting of Ice Age ice. Glacial melt water accumulated in, at least, one colossal freshwater lake in what is now nothern Canada. The lake burst into the Atlantic Gulf Stream, triggering a thousand year regression  in Europe to the cooler, dryer ties of the late Ice Age.

~ The World: The Younger Dryas Event is thought to have lead directly to agriculture marked by the cultivation of cereals.

~ Argentina: First evidence of human settlement in what is now this South American country.

10,900 BC to 9,700 BC: The Younger Dryas cold phase may have depopulated Ireland.

12,000 BP: A canine jaw, discovered in a cave in Mesopotamia, is the earliest evidence of the domestication of dogs. What earlier evidence do you know of? 

~ Sea level rise may have begun as early as this. Sea level was rising.

~ Epigravettian culture in central and east Europe.

~ to the present: the Holocene Epoch, which some divide into five parts; the Sub-Atlantic being the present of those parts. 

10,000 BP: Most recent Ice age was over.

~ Humans were eating chiltepines in Mexico.

~ As the ice-cap recedes, hunter-gathers move up the eastern side of America into Newfoundland and the Prairie provinces of Canada.

~ As temperatures rise, the sea-level rises, submerging the Bering land bridge and isolating(?) the Siberian immigrants as aboriginal Americans.

~ With the end of the most recent Ice Age, and the withdrawal of the ice sheet, there are drastic changes in ecology in every region.

Note: The Neolithic period includes any settled human community still using exclusively stone tools. The Neolithic Revolution continues to take place at different times around the world as people form settled communities, living by agriculture and the breeding of animals, instead of hunting and gathering.

~ Neolithic communities in eastern Anatolia make implements of hammered copper, making the first tentative steps out of the Stone Age.
