Neanderthal Demise

From Sunday's Dulth News Tribune and the Washington Post:

Study points finger at humans for Neanderthal Demise
By Rick Weiss
Duluth News Tribune (September 16, 2007, p. A8)

 Neandertal with spear.
a reprint of Climate Link To Neanderthal Demise Abates By Rick Weiss
Washington Post (September 13, 2007)

"Contrary to a popular hypothesis that Neanderthals succumbed to a suddenly colder climate, the new research indicates that southwestern Europe, where our beetle-browed cousins made their last stand, enjoyed relatively mild weather when their last campfires went cold."
"Neanderthals were widespread in Europe for more than 100,000 years but went extinct 26,000 to 32,000 years ago. Some scientists have blamed climate, which was then undergoing wild fluctuations between thousand-year cold spells and warmer periods, separated by as little as a decade or two. A few of those cold spells were extreme, leading some scientists to suggest that one of those mini-ice ages finally did in the climate-stressed Neanderthals."
"Others have placed the blame on the ancestors of modern humans, who emerged from Africa about 40,000 years ago and then spread north and west through Europe."

"The time period from which this object comes is prior to the time that anatomically modern man entered western Europe. This would imply that this was, like the flute at Divje Babe, Slovenia, a neanderthal instrument. This 40,000 year old flute is shown in a drawing below."
