For several decades, geochemistry has been supporting the existence of distinct mantle reservoirs and their persistence on the long term in spite of a vigorous stirring convection. This still remain a strong argument in favor of a significant layering of mantle convection. The spinel/postspinel phase change, because of its negative Clapeyron slope, has been first suspected to play this role and more precisely to preserve the depleted nature of the upper mantle source of MORB. However, 3D spherical models have shown the inability of an endothermic phase change, with the characteristics of the 660 km phase transition, to prevent exchange between the upper and lower mantle. Then, the hypothesis of a chemical stratification due to density variation is getting more and more accepted. The accumulation of the subducted oceanic crust at the CMB is a possibility that could account for the D" seismic layer and for the isotopic signature of OIB. A thicker dense layer has also been proposed in order to explain some features of the lower mantle tomography models. At the difference of recycled crust, this layer would originate in the early differentiation of Earth and would preserve pristine material that could be responsible for the nondegassed signature of some OIB. The recent discovery of a PostPerovskite phase transistion sheds a new light on the nature of D", perhaps reconciling a thick dense chemical layer with a thinner D" seismic layer. In a non exhaustive review of the recent advancement in numerical modeling of mantle convection, we will try to discuss the various origin that have been proposed for D" and their implications for the global mantle dynamics, but also for the thermal evolution of Earth, D" remaining a key in the cooling of the Core.
