Neanderthal Apocalypse

- Season 1

(2015)

We look at how the Neanderthal physique and hunting techniques could've contributed to its demise. Anthropologists compare the Neanderthal and the modern human body builds to see the role of muscle mass playing in surviving harsh winters.

Scientists take a look at what other factors might have affected the demise of the Neanderthals. Could it have been the eruption of a super volcano?
