Description

Explore the complex relationship between climate change and human evolution in Neanderthals and Modern Humans. This volume from the Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology series examines how ecological shifts and biogeographical patterns shaped the lives of early humans during the Pleistocene. Clive Finlayson provides a fresh perspective on the extinction of Neanderthals between 40 and 30 thousand years ago. Rather than accepting the common theory that modern human superiority led to their disappearance, this work looks at the broader environmental context. By moving beyond purely theoretical evolutionary ecology, the text offers a deeper understanding of how the spread of humankind and the loss of archaic populations were driven by wider biogeographic patterns. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in biological sciences and the history of human evolution. It offers a detailed look at how environmental changes influenced the movement and survival of different human species across the globe.

Key Features

Examines the connection between climate change, ecological shifts, and human biogeographical patterns during the Pleistocene.

Challenges existing views regarding the extinction of Neanderthals by looking beyond the theory of modern human superiority.

Provides a deep dive into the spread of humankind and the reasons behind the extinction of archaic populations.

Part of the respected Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology series.

Offers a comprehensive look at human evolution through the lens of wider biogeographic patterns rather than just theoretical ecology.
