Neanderthal Man ‘Never Walked In Northern Europe’

[snip] Work by the flamboyant Professor Reiner Protsch von Zieten showed that Neanderthal Man existed in northern Europe. Calculations on skeletal remains found at Hahnofersand, near Hamburg, stated they were 36,000 years old. Yet recent research at Oxford University’s carbon-dating laboratory has suggested that they date back a mere 7,500 years. By that time, Homo sapiens was already well-established and the Neanderthals were extinct. [end of snip]

Unexpectedly recent dates for human remains from Vogelherd
Dienekes Pontikos
July 07, 2004
http://dienekes.ifreepages.com/blog/archives/000614.html
A new study in Nature removes the last remaining link between the Upper Paleolithic Aurignacian technologies and modern humans. There is thus currently no evidence for the co-existence of UP humans and Aurignacian technologies at any sites. The authors conclude that while there is still evidence for the existence of modern humans in Europe during Aurignacian times, there is no longer any evidence for the idea that modern humans produced the Aurignacian, suggesting that this could just as easily have been produced by the indigenous Neandertals.
Nature 430, 198 - 201 (08 July 2004)
NICHOLAS J. CONARD et al.
The human skeletal remains from the Vogelherd cave in the Swabian Jura of southwestern Germany are at present seen as the best evidence that modern humans produced the artefacts of the early Aurignacian1. Radiocarbon measurements from all the key fossils from Vogelherd show that these human remains actually date to the late Neolithic, between 3,900 and 5,000 radiocarbon years before present (BP). Although many questions remain unresolved, these results weaken the arguments for the Danube Corridor hypothesis2âthat there was an early migration of modern humans into the Upper Danube drainageâand strengthen the view that Neanderthals may have contributed significantly to the development of Upper Palaeolithic cultural traits independent of the arrival of modern humans3, 4.
Wasn’t there a report some time ago about an apparent young N/CM hybrid found in Spain with the age about 22,000 BP?
If the Geico commercials are anything to go by, the cavemen probably died out because they were unable to remain loyal to their own social agendas when faced with opportunity to better their personal transactions on trade deals.
Look at American Indians: more of them died from new diseases than any other cause. The Mandans are a prime example.

Please. We all know it’s because GEICO did them in.
