Climate change may have played an important role in the extinction of Neanderthals, say scientists who found that a complete absence of archaeological artefacts from the species during cold periods.

Researchers including those from the Northumbria University in the UK produced detailed new natural records from stalagmites that highlight changes in the European climate more than 40,000 years ago.

The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Natural Academy of Sciences, found several cold periods that coincide with the timings of a near complete absence of archaeological artefacts from the Neanderthals, suggesting the impact that changes in climate had on the long-term survival of Neanderthal man. Stalagmites grow in thin layers each year and any change in temperature alters their chemical composition. The layers therefore preserve a natural archive of climate change over many thousands of years.

The researchers examined stalagmites in two Romanian caves, which revealed more detailed records of climate change in continental Europe than had previously been available.
