Virtual anthropology allows new identification of first modern humans
Members of our species (Homo sapiens) arrived in Europe several millennia earlier than previously thought. At this conclusion a team of researchers, led by the Department of Anthropology, University of Vienna, arrived after re-analyses of two ancient deciduous teeth. These teeth were discovered 1964 in the "Grotta del Cavallo", a prehistoric cave in southern Italy. Since their discovery they have been attributed to Neanderthals, but this new study suggests they belong to anatomically modern humans. Chronometric analysis, carried out by the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit at the University of Oxford, shows that the layers within which the teeth were found date to ~43,000-45,000 cal BP. This means that the human remains are older than any other known European modern humans. The research work was published in the renowned science journal Nature.
Grotta del Cavallo, in Apulia, was discovered in 1960. It contained about 7 m of archaeological deposits spanning the period during which Neanderthals were replaced by modern humans. Two milk teeth were unearthed in 1964 by Arturo Palma di Cesnola (emeritus of the University of Siena) from the so-called Uluzzian archaeological layers. The Uluzzian culture has been described from more than 20 separate sites across Italy, and is characterised by personal ornaments, bone tools and colourants; items typically associated with modern human symbolic behaviour. But the teeth from Cavallo were identified in the 1960's as Neanderthals who lived around 200,000 to 40,000 years ago. This attribution has been at the heart of a widely held consensus that the Uluzzian and the complex ornaments and tools within it were also produced by Neanderthals.

[Homo sapiens arrived earlier in Europe than previously known]
This was before the TSA slowed things down.
Deciduous teeth? Would that mean “baby” teeth? Are adult teeth described as deciduous? Or, would that be a term used to describe teeth knocked out in a fight?
Yes.

Did you mean:
Blauaugendeßammenaustoßedesgaßenschlampe?
No - you can only use an ess-set when the two s’s belong to the same syllable.
But you are correct - I spelled it wrong.
Who would have thunk it.
“augendes” +”sammen” = “ss”
Also, “ausstossendes” requires the “n” - infinitive verb +”des” becomes an adjective.
And, “stossen aus” is a seperable verb, “to burp”. So you need “ss” there, too.
;)
I considered sprinkling in rändom umlauts to fürther the joke...
You are a better at keyboarding than I. I just use the old convention - “ue”, etc.
OBTW, is it “augendes”, or “augenes”?
I think “augendes” is correct, noun to possessive pronoun.
But, I could be wrong.
(I think that we have lost the audience. LOL. Well, maybe the grammar police will come along and tell us how it is done.)
Nahhh, Das ist eine arbeit für eine
LOL! When my mother used to correct my Englisch Grammar, I would refuse to use Englisch for a week.

Who would have ‘ever’ thunk it.
