==========================================================

For example, in the hypothesis that the axis of rotation is almost
vertical with respect to the ecliptic, there would be an enormous
growth of ice at high latitudes and altitudes, with subsequent
lowering of sea level. On the other hand the climate would be much
more stable then it is today, with very limited (or non-existent)
seasonal climatic differences and an uninterrupted vegetation's
growth. This would bring about the disruption of today's climatic
barriers, with subsequent spreading of tropical species towards
northern regions and viceversa. There would also be the maximum
possible development of ecological communities.

This appears to be exactly the existing situation in the Pleistocene
era, when formidable ice caps covered North America and North Europe,
and there were enormous glaciers on all mountains. In the immediate
surroundings of these masses of ice one of the most impressive
zoological communities of all times thrived. Millions (more than 40
millions, according to F.C. Hibben) of mammoths roamed Siberia and
Alaska, large animals the size of which can be found today only in
tropical regions, or in those areas where the supply of fodder is
guaranteed all the year round.

It's against common sense that precisely during the ice age, one of
the largest zoological communities since the dinosaurs existed in
those very areas which are today reputed, due to their extreme
climatic conditions, as the most hostile on Earth. With the mammoths
there were dozens other animal species, the majority of which are
extinct today. Of these species we have a great number of skeletons,
several complete animals that have been perfectly preserved in the
permafrost, and many wonderful paintings in Palaeolithic caves. The
oldest amongst them is the "Chauvet" cave, in France, which is
believed to have been painted 30.000 years ago, precisely in the
middle of the ice age. They are pictures of breathtaking beauty. The
unknown artists, with a few strokes, have represented to perfection
animals which at the time were living in the plains of central Europe
(and at the same time in Siberia and Alaska) . But the beauty of the
paintings makes the zoologist wonder in more than one way: how could
such a varied assembly of animals coexist? To what a bizarre
ecological environment could such a motley fauna belong? We find the
rein-deer next to rhinoceros, the mammoth, with its woolly mantle,
near the hippopotamus, bears with lions, the leopard and Brezalwski
horses. There were also giant beavers and sloths, big horn deers, 
camels, sabre teeth tigers, buffaloes, aurochs bulls and many more.

It's an incredible mixture which leaves us puzzled and astonished.
Arctic and tropical fauna together, on the same plain, in perfect
balance with the environment! Such an extraordinarily varied and
numerous animal community disagrees with whatever current opinion we
might have on climatic conditions during the ice age. And definitely
such a community couldn't exist anywhere on Earth today.

This community suddenly disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene era,
when, according to today's theories, the climatic conditions were
supposed to have become milder.

A shift of the poles occurred 11.600 years ago, with all its related
destructive phenomena, could explain completely and coherently the
climatic situation before that date, and the situation brought on
after that date.
