Books, Manuscripts
Neanderthals, no less than another kind of human, almost made it, finally dying out just 28,000 years ago. What caused us to survive while they went extinct? Ecology holds the clues, argues Clive Finlayson. It comes down to climate change & chance. There was little in it, & things could have turned out quite differently.
