Archaeologists from Germany 's University of Cologne used genetic, archaeological, topographical, and ecological data to narrow down the location of Neanderthals in the Zagros Mountains of Iran .
The region is where the environmental conditions that best suit modern humans and those best suited to our now extinct cousins overlap.
A single 65,000-year-old Neanderthal tooth, associated with a collection of stone tools, supports the research.
