Artistic reconstruction of a hunter-gatherer group from the Ice Age.
Using the largest dataset of human fossils from Ice Age Europe to date, an international research team shows how prehistoric hunter-gatherers coped with climate change in the period between 47,000 and 7,000 years ago. Population sizes declined sharply during the coldest period, and in the West, Ice Age Europeans even faced extinction, according to the study published today in the journal "Science Advances." Lead investigator Dr. Hannes Rathmann from the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of Tübingen developed a new method for analyzing the fossils based on a machine learning algorithm, in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Tübingen, University of Ferrara (Italy) and New York University (USA). ...
