The main article for this category is Quaternary.
The Quaternary Period is the geologic time period from the end of the Pliocene Epoch roughly 1.8-1.6 million years ago to the present. The Quaternary includes 2 geologic subdivisions -- the Pleistocene and the Holocene Epochs.
In a recent revision of the international classification of geological time periods, the Quaternary was subsumed into the Neogene. The move has met with some resistance from geologists.
This category contains events which happened in the Quaternary, a division of the geologic time scale. See geologic time scale for information about its divisions and how they relate to each other.
