Of course we’ve known for a long while that there must have been, somewhere in Europe, a human who died out, the last of their species, but now suddenly, with the discovery of Neanderthal materials that may date as late as 24,000 years ago (and certainly 28,000) in Gibraltar, the image of that “last of their kind” gets a lot clearer.
The last Neanderthal quite possibly was not the victim of our own rampant human species, but of climate change …
Food for thought there.
