A recent Australian study revealed that the phenomenon of the reversal of the magnetic poles of the Earth 42 thousand years ago was the reason for the extinction of the ancient caveman called "Neanderthal".

According to the American Business Insider website, the team of scientists from the University of New South Wales in Sydney and the Museum of South Australia explained that the Earth witnessed a lot of turbulence when its magnetic poles flipped as the poles flipped caused a set of dramatic climate shifts that led to environmental change and mass extinction, which led to the opening of a layer. Ozone and the passage of more ultraviolet rays in the atmosphere towards Earth.

The scientists pointed out that these changes caused an increase in the ice cover over North America and Australia's exposure to drought, which led to the extinction of many large mammal species in addition to a solar storm at the same time that led to an increase in the conflict over food resources, which began to decrease, indicating that this phenomenon may stop. Rare behind the extinction of ancient humans.

The phenomenon of the inversion of the poles of the Earth is the fluctuations of the Earth's magnetism and the occurrence of changes in the magnetic field of the planet represented by the change of the magnetic north and south positions, as the British Geological Survey estimates that four or five polar fluctuations occur every million years and may occur at some time in the future.
