Imagine Earth’s magnetic field going haywire and letting in a blast of solar UV rays. That’s what happened 41,000 years ago! While Neanderthals got zapped, early humans got creative—think DIY sunscreen (ochre), custom clothes, and hiding out in caves. This new study says those survival hacks might be why we’re here and Neanderthals aren’t. Wild to think a cosmic event could shape who’s left on Earth! #Science #Neanderthals #HumanEvolution
