Ancient humans waited out last ice age in frigid Central Europe, surprising study finds
Most animals retreated to small, warmer enclaves. But some, like humans, seemed to have stayed where they were.

Professor of Evolutionary Palaeoecology, Bournemouth University
John Stewart is an evolutionary palaeoecologist with broad research interests encompassing the use of faunas in reconstructing Pleistocene and Holocene ecologies, understanding the nature, timing and location of ice age refugia for species, and building and testing molecular biogeographical hypotheses on how species respond to environmental change. He is also interested in the relationship between species and subspecies level evolution and extinction during the Quaternary; and more recently the use of Quaternary data in conservation biology.
