One of the latest developments is a recent study from the University of Michigan, published in the journal Science Advances. It proposes that Neanderthals went extinct for astrophysical reasons. Read ...

Mukhopadhyay’s research suggests that a shift in the Earth’s magnetic poles around 41,000 years ago, known as the Laschamp event, may have contributed to the extinction of Neanderthals. Agnit ...

Scientists have determined that open-ocean waters are steadily greening at high latitudes and becoming bluer in the tropics and subtropics. Because the tint of seawater tracks chlorophyll – the ...

A space physicist has suggested that a reversal of the Earth’s magnetic poles may have wiped out the Neanderthals.
