40,000 years ago, when Cro-Magnon people settled in Europe, they lived alongside many species that are now extinct. When and why did the mammoth, the megaceros, and the cave lion go extinct? Which other animals, on the other hand, survived the end of the last ice age? Drawing on various studies, this catalog offers a detailed and accessible overview of the current state of scientific knowledge on these complex questions.
