Abstract

There is a general agreement on the correlation of the Eemian Stage with Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e today, including that the boundaries are not strictly synchronous. However, in the 1970s, a correlation with the entire MIS 5 and even with MIS 9 was proposed. In this paper, I present the early discussion on this correlation.
