## Caption

🌳 #Climatechange in the Quarternary period (the most recent 2.6 million years of the #Earth’s #geological history) wiped out laurel #forests that thrived in vast areas throughout the #world 20 million years ago. Laurel forests are now only present in several places. The laurel forests of the Canary Islands, pictured here, house living #fossil #plants from the #Tertiary period (65 to 2.6 million years ago).
