"The Ranis cave site provides evidence for the first dispersal of Homo sapiens across the higher latitudes of Europe. It turns out that stone artifacts that were thought to be produced by Neanderthals were, in fact, part of the early Homo sapiens toolkit," said Jean-Jacque Hublin, a professor at the Collège de France in Paris and the former director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology where Zavala first began this work. "This fundamentally changes our previous knowledge about the period: Homo sapiens reached northwestern Europe long before Neanderthal disappearance in southwestern Europe."

[snip] Les Cottés is one of the rare sites, if not the only site, which contains a sequence of Evolved Chatelperronian, proto-Aurignacian and Early Aurignacian. Evolved Chatelperronian is a variant of the Chatelperronian which was first defined at Les Cottés by L. Pradel in the 1950s. It corresponds to a final stage of the Chatelperronian, is characterized by the Les Cottés point, and could therefore be evidence of the final Neandertals' behavior in France. Proto-Aurignacian and Early Aurignacian with split-base bone points are also well preserved at the site. Anatomically modern human remains were found in the Early Aurignacian layer during the first excavation at the site by R. de Rochebrune in 1881.
Our goal at this site is to better understand the behavior of the last Neandertals and the first anatomically modern humans in Western Europe and to evaluate the nature and the amount of interaction that may have happen between these two populations just before the demise of Neandertals.

The Neantherdals will want reparations.
[snip] Recent excavations (2016–2022) at the cave Ilsenhöhle in Ranis (hereafter Ranis, Thuringia, central Germany; Fig. 1) have yielded well-preserved faunal assemblages across its stratigraphic sequence, which includes layers with non-diagnostic tools (layers 12–11)7,21, the Lincombian–Ranisian–Jerzmanowician21,22,23 (LRJ, layers 9–8) and the Upper Palaeolithic (layers 6–4a; Fig. 1). The main focus of this paper is on fauna from these excavations and more specifically LRJ layers 9 and 8, which have been dated to 47,500–45,770 cal BP and 46,820–43,260 cal BP, respectively7. These layers are associated with multiple skeletal remains of H. sapiens7. [/snip]The ecology, subsistence and diet of ~45,000-year-old Homo sapiens at Ilsenhöhle in Ranis, Germany | Nature
The Earth is 10,000 years old, tops.
Has Netflix made the series in which they’re Africans yet?
/rimshot
I’m thinking more like 8,000.
“I’m thinking more like 8,000.”
Studies say 6,000.
Flat or spherical?
‘The Earth is 10,000 years old, tops.’
do tell; how did you come up with this choice nugget of data...?
“Earth is 10,000 years tops”
“I’m thinking more like 8,000.”
Magnetic Pole shift 11,850 years ago has cornfuzed you.
I tell you it’s a tough choice, should I put down
proto-Aurignacian, or Natufian on the next census form ???
You should make those your pronouns. Make ‘em suffer.
These guys have their number (scientismists).

Cro-Filet-Mignon is my favorite.
Humans have crafted garments for more than 40,000 years—and ancient tools suggest that warmth wasn’t their only concern.
THE INYA RIVER in southwestern Siberia winds through a landscape of striking seasonal changes. In the summer, crystal clear waters lap below alpine forests. As winter approaches, the river freezes, fierce snowstorms shroud the mountains, and temperatures plummet.
The climate becomes perilous to humans. But evidence of 50,000-year-old hunting tools suggests that Stone Age hunter-gatherers once inhabited the region. What was their secret to survival? Clothing.

Homo sapiens expansion into northern latitudes was enabled by sewn clothing.
