Neanderthals and Modern Humans in the European Landscape during the Last Glaciation: Archaeological results of The Stage 3 Project

What role did Ice Age climate play in the demise of the Neanderthals, and why was it that modern humans alone survived? A team of international experts from a wide range of disciplines have worked together to provide a detailed study of the world occupied by the European Neanderthals between 60,000 and 25,000 years ago. The results provide revolutionary insights into the glacial climate of this period and the landscapes and resources that influenced late Palaeolithic life-styles.
