A new multi-method luminescence dating has suggested that La Ferrassie 1 could be dated to ~45,000 years ago. [7] This new method of dating could prove to change many Neanderthal sequences. Scientists used the Ferrassie Mousterian layers to support the chronology of La Ferrassie 1. [3] This new chronology could also change the dating of La ...
The new research estimates an average date for Neanderthal-Homo sapiens interbreeding of about 47,000 years ago, compared to previous estimates that ranged from 54,000 to 41,000 years ago.
The timeline of human evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, Homo sapiens, throughout the history of life, beginning some 4 billion years ago down to recent evolution within H. sapiens during and since the Last Glacial Period.
Slimak determined that this particular Neanderthal lived 42,000 years ago, towards the end of that species’ time on this planet. As such, he named the Neanderthal Thorin after the Tolkien character.
Tens of thousands of years ago, a Neanderthal nicknamed Thorin lived in southeastern France, not long before his species went extinct. His remains were first discovered in 2015 and sparked a ...
