MSCA stories
Our intelligent ancestor, the Neanderthal

Try to imagine the modern human, Homo Sapiens, as just one of three species of humans coexisting on the planet Earth. That’s a difficult picture to paint by any stretch of the imagination. Yet this was the reality 60,000 years ago, when the first anatomically modern humans left Africa. It was a time when Europe and the Middle East were already populated by the Neanderthals, while the Denisovans spread across large parts of Asia. While the jury is still out as to why the Neanderthal, an ancient ancestor of modern humans, became extinct about 40,000 years ago, it has long been assumed that it was because they possessed a low level of intelligence. Pioneering research by MSCA fellows Karen Ruebens and Malvina Baumann is challenging this idea, uncovering evidence to suggest that our ancient cousins were in fact much more like us than we thought.

Ancient cave deposits reveal our climate future

As natural climate archives, the deposits found in caves can play an important role in our ability to understand – and predict – climate change. Every family has those stories that are passed down from generation to generation. Some of them have to do with history, others about a particular individual. But many of them have to do with the weather. Whether it be when the monsoons always arrive or what month brings the coldest weather, these stories contribute to society’s climate memory. ‘Because this information helps make climate predictable, it is very useful to, for example, a farmer planting crops,’ said MSCA fellow Dr Sebastian Breitenbach, a palaeoclimatologist at Northumbria University.
