Inter-stratification of Neanderthal and modern human remains has been suggested, [6] but is disputed. [7] Stone tools that have been proposed to be linked to Neanderthals have been found at Byzovya (ru:Бызовая) in the polar Urals, and dated to 31,000 to 34,000 years ago, [8] but is also disputed. [9]
Neanderthals are known from numerous fossils, especially from after 130,000 years ago. [15] The reasons for Neanderthal extinction are disputed. [16] [17] Neanderthals lived in a high-stress environment with high trauma rates; about 80% of Neanderthal individuals died before the age of 40. [18]
A new study is shedding light on how and why Neanderthals died out. The predecessor to humans today, Homo sapiens, vanished about 42,000 years ago.

They are thought to have died out around 42,000 years ago, at least 2,000 years after the extinction of the last Neanderthal populations elsewhere in Europe. [12] They did not disappear during the Last Glacial Maximum during the time of the H2 Heinrich event , when ocean circulations were disrupted by very rapid climate fluctuations which ...
Modern human DNA found in Neanderthal genomes offers clues to how our archaic ancestors disappeared, according to a new study.
