"Five million years have passed since humans lived on Earth, a relatively short period of time in geological terms. The continents have drifted slightly, but not by much. Plants and animals have evolved and adapted, but they still have a lot in common with their Human-era relatives. The big difference between this time and the Human era is the climate. The Earth is currently at the peak of an Ice age."
The world of 5 million AD is largely defined by its Ice Age. Much of the northern and southern latitudes are either tundra or below ice, and the equatorial regions have dried, turning the Amazon Rainforest into an enormous grassland and the North American midwest into a cold desert. The expanding ice caps cause sea levels to fall, and the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins have become landlocked due to continental drift.

HABITAT DESCRIPTION
The North European Ice is a region of tundra, mountains, and icefields covering much of northwestern Europe, including all of France and Great Britain, as well as the land bridge doggerland, in 5 million AD. In the winter, temperatures can fall as low as -60°C (-115°C in strong winds), and the ice sheet is two miles thick in places.

HABITAT DESCRIPTION
These harsh salt flats are two thousand metres below sea level. They're all that's left of the sparkling, clear blue waters of the Mediterranean.
