The expansion of early modern humans from the Levant where the Levantine Aurignacian stage has been identified. The Aurignacian (/ ɔːr ɪ ɡ ˈ n eɪ ʃ ən /) is an archaeological industry of the Upper Paleolithic associated with Early European modern humans (EEMH) lasting from 43,000 to 26,000 years ago.
The Levantine Aurignacian (35,000-29,000 BP, calibrated, 32,000-26,000 BP, non-calibrated) [6] is an Upper Paleolithic culture of the Near-Eastern Levant that evolved from the Emiran culture. [6] It was named so because of the similarity of stone tools with the Aurignacian culture in Europe. [ 6 ]
The Gravettian was an archaeological industry of the European Upper Paleolithic that succeeded the Aurignacian circa 33,000 years BP. [1] [4] It is archaeologically the last European culture many consider unified, [5] and had mostly disappeared by c. 22,000 BP, close to the Last Glacial Maximum, although some elements lasted until c. 17,000 BP.

Proper Aurignacian people (40-26kya) were still part of a large Western Eurasian "meta-population", related to Paleolithic Siberian and Western Asian populations. [72] Earlier samples (such as the Bacho Kiro sample) were relatively closer to East Asians and Australasians, although distinct from them. [73]
Assemblages of Aurignacian tool making tradition can be found in the cultural sediments of numerous sites from around 45,000 years BP to around 26,000 years BP. [2] In recognition of its significance for various scientific fields and the 19th-century pioneering work of Édouard Lartet the Cave of Aurignac was officially declared a national ...
Cro-Magnon (/ k r oʊ ˈ m æ n j ən / ⓘ, US: /-ˈ m æ ɡ n ən /; French: Abri de Cro-Magnon French pronunciation: [kʁomaɲɔ̃]) [note 1] [2] [3] is an Aurignacian (Upper Paleolithic) site, located in a rock shelter at Les Eyzies, a hamlet in the commune of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, Dordogne, southwestern France.
This hypothesis contrasts with the mainstream archaeological consensus that the North American continent was first populated by people from Asia, either by the Bering land bridge (i.e. Beringia) at least 13,500 years ago, [6] or by maritime travel along the Pacific coast, or by both. The idea of a Clovis-Solutrean link remains controversial and ...
