Humans migrating to Europe 45,000 years ago ‘were resilient to harsh climate’
Modern humans ventured into northern Europe under extremely cold climate conditions and were living side by side with Neanderthals more than 45,000 years ago, according to new evidence.
Average temperatures around that time would have been somewhere between 7 to 15 degrees Celsius below modern day temperatures – similar to that found in today’s Siberia or northern Scandinavia, scientists say.
