In a remarkably short geological period, massive glaciers spread across the southern supercontinent Gondwana. As ice locked up water, vast shallow seas dried out, triggering an “icehouse climate” and radically altering ocean chemistry. The result was catastrophic.

These regions are made up of very short sequences that repeat again and again, and the study shows that they tend to grow longer as people age.
