Neanderthals did not sew enough warm clothes to survive Ice Age: Expert
| Quote From Source: | Melbourne, Dec.26: Unlike modern humans, Neanderthals may not have been able to sew warm enough clothes to see them through the Ice Age.
Neanderthals probably froze to death in the last Ice Age because rapid climate change caught them by surprise without the tools needed to make warm clothes, says an Australian researcher.
Ian Gilligan, a post-graduate researcher from the Australian National University believes that by the time Neanderthals developed sewing tools it was too little too late.

I don't know what to think about this, but I think there's lot of other plausible explanations than that. How did they survive as long as they did if that was such a big problem?! |

I wonder what he means by sudden and short? Is he talking months, years, decades, centuries?
