🧬 New study reveals how the last Neanderthals lived in NW Spain ~41,000 years ago!
At Cova Eirós (Galicia), they thrived in a cold but rainy climate.
Led by our team member Iván Rey (UVigo).🙌

🔬 Marta Matamala-Pagès explores the role of climate in hominid evolution. This study reveals that the Ethiopian Highlands remained a stable climatic refuge for at least 2 Ma, potentially influencing the emergence, distribution, and adaptations of Homo erectus populations.

🌍 Sofía studies the impacts of deep-time climatic changes on species diversity. Her research highlights the potential of the record to reveal latitudinal gradients and the role of future paleontologists in uncovering the Latitudinal Biodiversity Gradient in current mammals.
