Large-scale study of fossil human teeth from Ice Age Europe shows that climate change significantly influenced the demography of prehistoric humans.

Population sizes declined sharply during the coldest period, and in the West , Ice Age Europeans even faced extinction.

Researchers focused on “morphological” tooth traits small variations within the dentition.

Study finds populations in Western Europe went extinct at the transition from the Middle to the Late Pleniglacial and were replaced by a new population that migrated from Eastern Europe .

The new analytical tool makes it possible to identify the most likely demographic scenario among many that were tested.

The Pheno- ABC method could revolutionize the analysis of fossil skeletal morphology in the future.
