Prometheus Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Pioneering groups of humans braved icy conditions to settle in northern Europe more than 45,000 years ago, a "huge surprise" that means they could have lived there alongside Neanderthals, scientists said Wednesday. The international team of researchers found human bones and tools hiding behind a massive rock in a German cave, the oldest traces of Homo sapiens ever discovered so far north. The discovery could rewrite the history of how the species populated Europe -- and how it came to replace the Neanderthals, who mysteriously went extinct just a few thousand years after humans arrived. ~ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bones-tools-cave-could-rewrite-history-humans-neanderthals-europe/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
