Schematic illustration of no-analogue lake water temperature conditions. The black curve denotes simulated mean water temperature from 100 computer model simulations, responding to external forcings (volcanos, aerosols, greenhouse gas concentrations), and grey shading indicates the range of naturally occurring lake temperature variations.

Preferred habitats of Homo sapiens (purple shading, left), Homo heidelbergensis (red shading, middle), Homo neanderthalensis (blue shading, right) calculated from a new paleoclimate model simulation conducted at the IBS Center for Climate Physics and a compilation of fossil and archeological data. Lighter values indicate higher habitat suitability. The dates (1 ka = 1000 years before present) refer to the estimated ages of the youngest and oldest fossils used in the study.
