Abstract

A nonlinear mathematical model is used to describe Neanderthals extinction about 35,000 years before present. Using archaeological data, radiocarbon re-calibrate speed among others, we show that the diffusion coefficient describing Modern Humans spread corresponds to 1596km²/yr. The model is well established since all archaeological parameters, including Neanderthal-Modern interaction coefficient, become estimated.
