Neanderthals nearly disappeared 75,000 years ago, but one small group in France repopulated Europe
A near-extinction event 75,000 years ago Why mitochondrial DNA was the key to this discovery Ten new individuals add to the genetic picture One surviving
A near-extinction event 75,000 years ago Why mitochondrial DNA was the key to this discovery Ten new individuals add to the genetic picture One surviving lineage repopulated the whole continent A second sharp decline before extinction Why low genetic diversity may have doomed the Neanderthals Why this discovery matters for understanding Neanderthal extinction
