- [[Ice Age Fashion Showdown Neanderthal Capes Versus Human Hoodies by Colin Barras]] has some neat insights about how clothing tech impacts survival rates of species in different climates, and climate change is a factor in different groups coming and going. - [[Denisovans were active in Southeast Asia]] discusses how at least 5 different species of humans set up camp in basically the same spot in Southeast Asia. - [[How a Baby Tooth and Soot Rewrote the Story of Humans in Europe by Ludovic Slimak]] is another good example of neanderthals and humans in the same European cave - Indonesian island was [continuously occupied by rats for 190,000 years](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/hobbit-humans-story-gets-twist-from-thousands-of-rat-bones), but the "human relative" _Homo floresiensis_ ("hobbits" with small brains and very primitive traits) left about 60,000 years ago (around the time modern humans showed up, which may be a coincidence) — but the article from [[cave-dwellers]] does a good job of explaining how they didn't die out probably, just moved as the climate changes, because the rats themselves change from the "forest dwelling" to the "grassland dwelling" kind in a useful way.
