Files:

- average_habitat_suitability.tif: geotif file describing the average habitat suitability (computed from a large ensemble of small models) for Homo neanderthalensis during the last interglacial.

- standard deviation.tif: geotif with the standard deviation of the ensemble of small models mentioned above. Large values indicate a low consensus among models, while small values indicate a high consensus among models.

- suitability_and_deviation.pdf: plot of the two previous maps blended through "whitening". Colors indicate habitat suitability, while "whitening" indicates higher standard deviation (lack of consensus).

- neanderthal_eemian_sites_Appendix_I.xlsx: input dataset used to fit the models.
