Some places were warmer, some places were cooler. It wasn't that meaningfully different globally, the mean temperature hasn't fluctuated more than a couple of degrees over the last 50,000 years or so. But at that timescale, it includes a time when MENA was lush and green and Europe was a jungle.

This uses the retarded "ice age" definition to mean glacial period, which isn't as climatologically relevant as you might think. The better usage of the term is to refer to whether or not the mean temperature of the earth is low enough to support ice-capped poles, greenhouse vs icehouse. At no point in human history have we existed outside of this concept of an ice age aka an icehouse. The current ice age/icehouse began 34 million years ago and hasn't ended. A greenhouse earth looks vastly different and much of the land is uninhabitable for life. Even highly specialized extremeophiles could survive the deep inland heat only for a limited amount of time, since temperatures often were above 60C and dropped to below freezing at night.
