Paleolithic Europe, or Old Stone Age Europe, encompasses the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age in Europe from the arrival of the first archaic humans, about 1.4 million years ago until the beginning of the Mesolithic (also Epipaleolithic) around 10,000 years ago. This period thus covers over 99% of the total human presence on the European continent. [1]

The first early European modern humans appear in the fossil record about 48,000 years ago, during the Paleolithic era.
This group is more closely related to ancient and modern peoples in the Middle East and the Caucasus than earlier European Cro-Magnons.
