Homo Neanderthaliensis did not become extinct because of changes in climate. At least, this did not happen to the several Neanderthals groups that lived in the western Mediterranean 42,000 years ago. A research group of the University of Bologna came to this conclusion after a detailed paleoclimatic reconstruction of the last ice age through the analysis of stalagmites sampled from some caves in Apulia, Italy.
The researchers focused on the Murge karst plateau in Apulia, where Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens coexisted for at least 3,000 years, from approximately 45,000 to 42,000 years ago... Data extracted from the stalagmites showed that climate changes that happened during that time span were not particularly significant... explains Andrea Columbu, researcher and first author of this study. "It doesn't seem possible that significant climate changes happened during that period, at least not impactful enough to cause the extinction of Neanderthals in Apulia and, by the same token, in similar areas of the Mediterranean".
The hypothesis that a changing climate was a factor in Neanderthals extinction (that happened, in Europe, nearly 42,000 years ago) found considerable support among the scientific community. According to this theory, during the last ice age, sharp and rapid changes in climate were a decisive factor in Neanderthals' extinction because of the increasingly cold and dry weather.
We can find confirmation of these sharp changes in the analysis of ice cores from Greenland and from other paleoclimatic archives of continental Europe. However, when it comes to some Mediterranean areas where Neanderthals had lived since 100,000 years ago, the data tell a different story. The Western Mediterranean is rich in prehistorical findings and, until now, no one ever carried out a paleoclimatic reconstruction of these Neanderthals-occupied areas.

TO NEANDERTHALS!!! 😋
Large numbers of Neanderthals have been reported in Portland, Seattle and other Democrat controlled areas.
Most European carry traces of Neanderthal DNA in their genes
YIKES looks like couple of girls went out with on blind dates …..
Join 23 and me and they will tell you that you are part neanderthal.
I remember from All in the Family, a Homo Sapien is a killer fag, isn’t it?
It is estimated up to 60% of the Neanderthal genome lives on in us. The ethnic European average for Neanderthal DNA is 2.7%. Their contributions to our immune systems are thought to have been particularly important. Having been in Europe and Asia much longer than Homo Sapiens, they had a lot more time to develop resistance/immunity to the germs/bacteria present there. Kids who had this genetic contribution from Neanderthals were more likely to survive.
probably homo sapiens ate the neanderthals. probably thought there were some health benefits. This was about the time the Aussie Aborigines were killing out the mega fauna in Australia. These big beasts had no experience with homo sapiens—unlike the big beasts of africa which grew up with homo sapiens.
I took the other one, they don’t tell you, but I nabbed my raw file and uploaded it to an archaic DNA project, and wowzo. I was primarily looking for Neander, had about the average amount, but there’s about 90 different samples and I matched some pretty interesting ones.
The King Tut DNA was first thought to be Irish but later said that half of the males in Europe were related to him.
Seems weird that all DNA is a double helix, seems like women should have a double shelix.
[ducks, runs]
Yup. They aren’t extinct, any more than all our other ancestors are extinct.
As more “anatomically modern” [sic] prehistoric remains get their DNA sequenced, we’ll find out what a great big can of worms we’re really dealing with. :^)

Wait! What?
Worms?
Bails out to furiously google search for “worm people”.
The discoverer was Annelida C. Opisthopora.

Bingo!
Competition. Survival of the fittest. They lost. But their genes live on.
Life!
