Climate and competition alone cannot explain Neanderthal extinction, study finds
A new modeling study suggests that greater connectivity between groups may have given Homo sapiens the edge over Neanderthals.

A new modeling study suggests that greater connectivity between groups may have given Homo sapiens the edge over Neanderthals. Why Neanderthals went extinct and Homo sapiens established a lasting presence in Europe is still not fully understood. The answer is complex and involves multiple factors, but a new study using an innovative approach inspired by digital ecology is providing fresh insights.
