...The two sites used between 50,000 to 35,000 years ago were found last summer in the Pindos Mountains, near the village of Samarina -- one of Greece's highest -- some 400 kilometers (250 miles) northwest of Athens...

The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

At an altitude of more than 1,700 meters (5,500 feet), the Pindos Neanderthal sites are the highest known so far in southeastern Europe, although that's probably because nobody thought of searching so high before, archaeologist Nikos Efstratiou said Wednesday.“It's not that such sites don't exist,” Efstratiou told The Associated Press. “For the first time, Greek archaeology has gone to the mountains.”
These idiots are just bebinning to figure out that sea levels were higher during the Late Pleistocene Epoch. These particular characters were no one's amcestors - modern humans had been around for at least 25,000 years prior, according to mitochondrial DNA studies. cf Mt. Toba supervolcano which eliminated most of the then existing human race, circa 72,000 BC.
