🔸#Climate_change killed off #Neanderthals, study says

◾️#Homo_sapiens' closest relatives, the #Neanderthals, died off approximately 40,000 years ago, but the exact cause is still up for debate. Now, a new study suggests that #climate_change was a bigger part in their extinction than previously believed.

▪️The evidence is there that Europe experienced stark cold and dry spells, putting a strain on Neanderthals' food supply and ability to survive. Thanks to a group of researchers looking at stalagmites in Romania, we may have proof this was indeed the case.

◾️“For many years we have wondered what could have caused their demise," said Dr. Vasile Erse, a co-author of the study and a senior lecturer at Northumbria University, in a statement. "Were they pushed ‘over the edge’ by the arrival of modern humans, or were other factors involved? Our study suggests that #climate_change may have had an important role in the #Neanderthal_extinction.”
