Quote:
During the Holocene Epoch (10,000 years ago – present), sea level reached its current elevation. Human populations expanded and shaped the landscape to suit their needs. The Everglades of south Florida formed and thick layers of peat were deposited. The Keys became islands and new coral reefs began to grow. Our modern climate developed and Florida took the shape we are all used to seeing – a long peninsula. Contributed by Guy H. Means.
