Last Glacial Maximum refugia were places where people survived during the last glacial period in the northern hemisphere, around 20,000–25,000 years ago.
Sub-Saharan Africa and Australia were not affected by the glaciation (although vast areas of those continents were then too dry for human habitation of any sort, even the most primitive foragers), and the Americas and New Zealand had no humans at that time. Therefore, the shelters are located mainly in Eurasia. Several of them have been studied.
