Neanderthals in their landscape

The physical and cultural remnants of Neanderthals have been found within a large variety of environmental contexts, and, obviously, there was no Neanderthal standard environment. Despite the fact that Neanderthals are widely regarded as having anatomically adapted to survive under cold climatic conditions, we must probably accept them as potentially ubiquist hominids. Through 100.000 years of Neanderthal (in strict sense) existence, between 130.000 and 30.000 years B.P., their environment changed several times under the influence of major climatic oscillations. A variety of different landscapes all over Europe and the Near East was inhabited and used by Neanderthals.
