A couple excerpts :

1) (Canada) : In the early 1950s, Thomas E. Lee of the National Museum of Canada found
advanced stone tools in glacial deposits at Sheguiandah, on Manitoulin Island in northern
Lake Huron. Geologist John Sanford of Wayne State University argued that the oldest
Sheguiandah tools were at least 65,000 years old and might be as much as 125,000 years
old. For those adhering to standard views on North American prehistory, such ages were
unacceptable. Humans supposedly first entered North America from Siberia about 12,000
years ago.

Thomas E. Lee complained: "The site's discoverer [Lee] was hounded from his
Civil Service position into prolonged unemployment; publication outlets were cut off; the
evidence was misrepresented by several prominent authors . . .; the tons of artifacts
vanished into storage bins of the National Museum of Canada; for refusing to fire the
discoverer, the Director of the National Museum, who had proposed having a monograph
on the site published, was himself fired and driven into exile; official positions of prestige
and power were exercised in an effort to gain control over just six Sheguiandah specimens
that had not gone under cover; and the site has been turned into a tourist resort. . . .
Sheguiandah would have forced embarrassing admissions that the Brahmins did not know
everything. It would have forced the rewriting of almost every book in the business. It had
to be killed. It was killed."

You ought to try researching recent comet impacts.

From today’s news page.
It is the wrong side of the Atlantic.
But it is the same ice cap isn’t it?

This brings up the question of just how extensive it was.
And where.

[uniface]

So maybe Scotland wasn't under a gazillion feet of ice then, either . . . (?)

[Digit]

Certainly looks a bit questionable doesn't it?

It was, and it wasn't. Depends entirely on which point in time and which region you're talking about. Most of the northern hemisphere was the same: sometimes covered with ice, sometimes not (land and sea!). In Europe it extended south as far as Brittany ('Bretagne') in France at one time. But only for a relatively short period of time, like at most a couple milennia.
The ice 'ebbed and flooded' the earth's northern surface.
Nevertheless, the land south of the land ice boundary, wherever it was at any one time, was tundra. Like northern Siberia, Canada, and Alaska today. Unimaginably vast stretches of swamp over permafrost. Little vegetation, and hardly nourishing for fauna. Thus scarce prey for hominids.

Another significant consequence: much lower sea levels! Because so much water was locked in the ice cap. For instance: three quarters of today's North Sea was more or less dry land. An enormous, fertile softly undulating savannah where millions of megafauna roamed. Perfect hunting country for hominids. This was during most of the Würm ice age.

How it was in Europe I don't know.

But here, during the Paleoindian era, the tundra idea's been shown to be a supposition not supported by the evidence (plant pollen in soil indicates what was growing then). The model settled-on is a mosaic of open taiga with patches of jack pine (initially, giving way to mixed deciduous trees). It probably yo-yo'd, as you said. But while people in Maine may well have been hunting lichen-feeding caribou, those further southwest had a more varied menu and environment.

Surprisingly, the glacial climate is said to have been more moderate than later when, although the summers got warmer, the winters got colder.

Recent news on the subject.

In the film, ‘The Day After Tomorrow' the world enters the icy grip of a new glacial period within the space of just a few weeks. Now new research shows that this scenario may not be so far from the truth after all.

William Patterson, from the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, and his colleagues have shown that switching off the North Atlantic circulation can force the Northern hemisphere into a mini ‘ice age' in a matter of months. Previous work has indicated that this process would take tens of years.
