Exhibition Structure: Chapter 1: Animals of Ice Age Europe During the Ice Age, northern Europe was covered by ice sheets, and dry grasslands spread across the central region, dominated by large animals known as “Ice Age megafauna.” What kind of creatures were these megafauna that survived in such harsh environments? And which of them became extinct, and which survived to the present day? Chapter 2: Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons (Homo sapiens) lived during the Ice Age. This actual skull has arrived in Japan for the first time. While Neanderthals had a sturdy build and strong muscles, Cro-Magnons had a relatively slender build and long limbs. Both lived in the same era. However, by 40,000 years ago, Neanderthals had disappeared. What on earth determined the fate of these two species? Chapter 3: The Japanese Archipelago in the Ice Age The Japanese archipelago stretches from north to south and is home to a diverse range of environments. Humans are thought to have arrived in Japan by the time of the last ice age, approximately 38,000 years ago. What were the animals that lived at that time, including Japan’s three most extinct animals (the Naumann’s elephant, the Yabe giant deer, and the Japanese long-eared tiger)? What was life like for humans on the Japanese archipelago during the ice age?
