We compared animal bones from Neanderthal and modern human archaeological strata.
•
We targeted mammalian families used for cold weather clothing in the recent past.
•
Cold weather clothing species occur in both Neanderthal and early modern human strata.
•
Leporids, canids, and mustelids are more frequent in early modern human strata.
•
This supports the hypothesis that Neanderthals employed cape-like clothing while early modern humans used specialized cold weather clothing.
