This dataset covers the last 800k years, at intervals of 1k years, and a resolution of 0.5 degrees in latitude and longitude.
Details
The units of several variables have been changed to match what is used in WorldClim.
IMPORTANT: If you use this dataset, make sure to cite the original publication:

The version included in pastclim has the ice sheets masked.
Note that, for bio15, we use the corrected version, which follows https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/691/ds691.pdf
