Scientists have found why Neanderthals became extinct.
Anthropologists who work at the University of Colorado, said that the Neanderthals died out because of cold and hunger. After studying the remains of animals that were discovered in the South-West of France in the caves, it was concluded that the ancient people 40 thousand years ago are extinct because of climate change.
In caves that scientists have studied for a long period, lived the Neanderthals. Animal bones found there were carefully crafted that testified about the lack of food. The ancients even extracted the bone marrow to make money.
According to experts, the Neanderthals were not very adapted to the climate of Eurasia. One of the reasons for their extinction was the eruption at the Phlegraean fields, which decreased the average temperature.
Previously, experts had advanced the theory that Neanderthals became extinct due to intensified competition with people of the modern type. Scientists need to understand which of the hypotheses correspond to reality
