Unraveling the Ice Age Enigma: Did the Neanderthals Conquer the Last Glacier?
Wildlife & BiologyWas the last glacier too hard for Neanderthals? The last glaciation, known as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), occurred approximately 26,000 to 19,000 years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch. This period was characterized by extensive glaciation, with massive ice sheets covering much of North America, Europe, and Asia. Neanderthals, an ancient human species that coexisted
