What do you mean "the last ice age"?

There's been more than one?

What happened in between?

I had an anthropology professor who always said: ‘Civilization is what happens between ice ages’.

Yes, several.

What happened in between?

Warm Interglacials. The one we're in right now is called the Holocene. The previous one, which ended about 115,000 years ago and was warmer than our Holocene, has been named the Eemian by geologists. IIRC, at least 5 Ice Ages followed by warm Interglacials have been identified geologically.
