In the dim shadow of a cave, a man who lived tens of thousands of years ago Neanderthal Imagine the scars.

Neanderthal remains named Thorin, found by archaeologists working at Grotte Mandrin in France’s Rhone Valley, tell us about their fate. results that will light up reaches.

This discovery not only shed light on life thousands of years ago, but also revealed important findings about the Neanderthal extinction.

Archaeologists called the found fossil Thorin and Thorin genetic structure investigated. The results they found were quite striking.

The findings show that this Neanderthal had no contact with other Neanderthal groups for 50,000 years. no genetic exchange came to his conclusion.

Scientists say Neanderthal groups lived close together ignoring each other for thousands of years He states that it means not only physical, but also social isolation.

So these small and introverted communities decrease in genetic diversity This situation is said to make them vulnerable to changing environmental conditions or diseases.

It is also added that the difference in movement between Neanderthals and modern humans could be one of the reasons for the disappearance of Neanderthals.

Neanderthals were closely related to modern humans (Homo sapiens) at the time the fossil lived. live in the same area It is known that it has started.

While Homo sapiens were constantly exploring, discovering new places and building social networks, Neanderthals preferred to stay where they were. One of the reasons for its extinction It is said that it is so.

In summary, the quiet life of Thorin and his community in their small living quarters was safe for a while, but isolation meant their end It is said.
