Great article! Much is made of life near the ice caps during the ice ages but it is facinating to speculate about the now flooded but huge land areas three hundred feet less ocean would create. This land now under the ocean would have been the prime real estate for any emerging civilizations.

"...it is facinating to speculate about the now flooded but huge land areas three hundred feet less ocean would create."

300-500 feet are the numbers I frequently see published. Most accept 400 feet as the average oceans rise at the end of the Ice Age.
