According to evolutionary biologists and geologists, the Holocene is the geologic period we now live in. It is theorized to cover the last 12,000 years and all of human civilization (although not all of humanity). It covers the Neolithic to the Information Age, and was preceded by the [[Pleistocene]] epoch.

==The Ages of the Holocene==

*[[Neolithic]] - The New Stone Age. This is theorized to cover the advent of agriculture to the use of bronze weapons. Roughly 12,000 years ago to 4,000 years ago.  However, [[Young Earth Creationism|Young Earth Creation scientists]] believe that the age of the Earth is far less than what is believed by evolutionists.  Therefore, they consider the Holocene as covering the period from the creation of the Earth until 4000 years ago.
