\textbf{Study area}  The geographical framework of this study comprises Europe and the Irano-Turanian region (20ºN to 70ºN,and  10ºW to 70ºE). We excluded the North of Africa from our analyses, since there are not known no  Neanderthal remains. remains have been found there.  \textbf{Presence data}  We extracted from the literature up to 51 locations attributed to Neanderthals presence during the last interglacial period. 20 presences belong to MIS 5e, 4 to MIS 5e-d, 7 to MIS 5d, while the dates of the remaining ones were broadly attributed to MIS 5 by the authors.  We scored extracted up to 65 locations from  the literature attributed to Neanderthals  presence records from 1 during the last interglacial period. 35 of these presences were attributed by their authors  to 3 according MIS 5e and used  to their reliability: 1, reliable data; 2, uncertain Neanderhtal affiliation or chronology; 3 lack of chronology.  To calibrate fit  the species distribution model we selected...

This reduced the sample to (LOW NUMBER HERE!).
