Abstract

A study by Ca’ Foscari University and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste on 36,000-year-old tools reveals how Homo Sapiens adapted to climate changes by developing advanced hunting techniques and altering their diet. This adaptive ability was crucial for their survival and evolutionary success over the Neanderthals. The research highlights the importance of adaptability in the face of climate change, offering a valuable lesson for humanity today.
