In Greece, lions first appeared around 6,500–6,000 years ago as indicated by a front leg bone found in Philippi. [2] Bone fragments of the modern lion were excavated in Hungary and in Ukraine's Black Sea region, which are estimated at around 5,500 to 3,000 years old. [31] Remains were also found in Romania and European Turkey. [18]

The German Lion-man figure is given a similar date range. A "Levantine Aurignacian" culture is known from the Levant, with a type of blade technology very similar to the European Aurignacian, following chronologically the Emiran and Early Ahmarian in the same area of the Near East, and also closely related to them.
