Abstract
Thirty-one Canadian and Alaskan Quaternary vertebrate faunas, ranging in age from about 1,800,000 to 5,000 years, are reviewed against a background of some of the major characteristics of the ice age in northern North America, and an attempt is made to outline their chronological sequence. For each fauna a list of species is given, and the following points are dealt with where possible: suggested geological age, stratigraphy at the site, palaeoenvironmental implications, and pertinent references. ... Radiocarbon dates on bone from Pleistocene vertebrates or from associated organic material are included. ... Early man is mentioned briefly. Evidence suggests that people were present in the northern Yukon about 27,000 years ago, and perhaps even earlier than 32,000 years ago in southern Alberta.
