Climate Change May Have Doomed Neanderthals

Climate Change May Have Doomed Neanderthals

THE GIST
  • In response to drastic cooling of the climate, Neanderthals and early humans started roaming farther from home.
  • As they moved more, the two groups mingled more and their interbreeding may have led to Neanderthal extinction.
  • The fate of Neanderthals may hint at the future of cultures in places that are threatened by climate change.
