Neanderthals

A graphic shared on social media in late June revealed a consistent 12,000 – 13,000 year cycle of natural catastrophic events, and the last one was nearly 13,000 years ago. While the Western world waits with baited breath to see if we’re about to be launched into World War III, a small group of us are sitting around wondering if world leaders, academic, or anyone outside of the independent researchers are going to admit we’re on course for something catastrophic — and it could strike within our lifetime. Patterns tell stories … pic.twitter.com/Ur9U0XAf8R — Jason Wilde (@JasonWilde108) June 23, 2025 Homo sapiens — also known as your great, great … great, great grandparents — rose to dominance roughly 52,000-years-ago. This was during the latter stages of our Last Glacial Maximum (ie: the Ice Age). For millennia prior, Earth’s climate systems were generally colder, dryer, with slightly wetter tropics, but just as stable as today’s weather report. But near-bang-on 52,000-years-ago, the planet started experiencing Dansgaard-Oeschger events. These were short-lived but highly dramatic climatological shifts, typically characterized by periods of sudden warming, then slow cooling. Though there is debate over the exact nature of these events, proxy data suggests that it would take just a few years, or a few decades, for temperatures to rise anywhere from 5–15 °C (9–27 °F).

Every 1,500 years or so, our planet would go through these abrupt changes, which lasted anywhere from around 52,000 years ago, to around 11,600 years ago (fans of anything related to Gobekli Tepe or the Younger Dryas already know where we’re going with this). Death of the Neanderthals As I wrote in the episode of The Why Files dedicated to alternate theories to mainstream rhetoric on Neanderthals, we know that this strange species of humanlike creature went extinct roughly 40,000 years ago (or 39,000 per the graphic). This was still during the Last Glacial Maximum, when North America and Europe were still largely covered by ice sheets that locked-up huge amounts of the planet’s water. Further south, coastlines were vastly different to what we see today. As humans have a natural proclivity to live along coastlines and waterways, it is likely that our ancient ancestors, helped along by our bodies being better suited to the shifting climate than our Neanderthal cousins (or predators), started their social development along shorelines that are now far, far out to sea. This is where we could go off on a tangent about how insane it is that Big Archaeology refuses to explore under our shorelines for signs of lost civilizations — though it is likely that most of the remnants of our past have long-been destroyed by ocean currents and other natural phenomena. What’s important to note about the Neanderthal extinction is that it occurred roughly 12,000-13,000 years before the sudden end of our Last Glacial Maximum. And this happened roughly 12,000-13,000 years before the Younger Dryas — our last massive climatological shift. Earth’s Magnetic Field “Broke” Roughly 42,000 years ago, data suggests that Earth’s magnetic field “broke down,” causing a “massive sudden climate change,” according to UNSW and a whole host of well-referenced research. As you’ll see in the Neanderthal video, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest early Homo sapiens hid from these predatory beasts in cave systems. Our ancestors were already hiding from the monsters, and it likely saved us from whatever it was that caused the mass extinction event around this time.

This isn’t pseudo-science, this is legitimate data, published throughout academic journals. These studies “read like the plot of a horror movie: the ozone layer was destroyed, electrical storms raged across the tropics, solar winds generated spectacular light shows (auroras), Arctic air poured across North America, ice sheets and glaciers surged and weather patterns shifted violently,” wrote Chris Fogwill, Alan Hogg, Chris Turney, and Zoë Thomas for UNSW. The 42,000(ish)-year-ago event is known as a Laschamps Excursion, but could it have happened again, some 12,800(ish) years ago? Younger Dryas You don’t have to be a geology, geography, or history graduate to see the pattern here. Every 12,000-13,000 years, our planet undergoes some type of massive event that renders the alpha species to extinction, and fundamentally changes the face of the Earth. A sudden shift in climate is devastating for all creatures dependent upon stability. But the cause of that devastation is still up for debate. (RELATED: US ‘Unprepared’ For Major Solar Storm, Exercise Reveals) Many focus on the impact hypothesis, that an asteroid or series of asteroids, struck the Northern hemisphere and caused our ice sheets to melt, rewriting the face of the planet. Our coastlines changed as huge amounts of water were suddenly unlocked, giving rise to the flood myths and legends of every single current and ancient culture. Honestly, this sounds way better for our odds of survival than another Laschamps Excursion, or anything related to the weakening or sudden disappearance of our magnetic field.

Well, we don’t know our exact timeline — and that is the scariest part of this whole thing. We know we’re roughly 200 years away from the peak end of this strange climate-shifting, life-altering cycle, but the exact cause is still heavily debated. At the time of writing, magnetic field issues are top of mind, despite being arguably the worst case scenario for all of us. Unless you live near a cave system, or are a tech billionaire with a bunker, you’re pretty much screwed for survival.
