Last Glacial Maximum refugia were places where people survived during the last glacial period in the northern hemisphere.
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 including the most primitive foragers) and the Americas and New Zealand had no humans at that time. Therefore these shelters are located mainly in Eurasia. Several of them have been studied.
