Özet

Studies focusing on the Quaternary, the last period of the Earth's history (similar to 2.6 Ma) is involved with interaction of biosphere with significant earth processes such as climate changes, tectonic and volcanic activities. These studies are interdisciplinary in nature, which combines questions, techniques and methodologies of archeology, geology, paleoanthropology, geography and paleoseismology. In order to understand the main questions, such as "why", "where" and "how" in earth processes, we consult physics and chemistry to answer the question "when". Fundamental sciences provide independent dating techniques to determine the exact timing and also rate of significant events. These techniques continuously develop by means of accuracy, integrity, sensitivity and also field of application.
