The oldest human skeletal remains are the 40ky old Lake Mungo remains in New South Wales, but human ornaments discovered at Devil's Lair in Western Australia have been dated to 48 kya and artifacts at Madjedbebe in Northern Territory are dated to at least 50 kya, and to 62.1 ± 2.9 ka in one 2017 study.

The first groups of early farmers different from the indigenous hunter-gatherers to migrate into Europe came from a population in western Anatolia at the beginning of the Neolithic period between 10,000 and 8,000 years ago. [13] Central Germany was one of the primary areas of the Linear Pottery culture (c. 5500 BC – c. 4500 BC), which was ...
c. 1.33 million years BP: The first stone tools were made in the Upper Rhine Plain [1] 609,000 ± 40,000 BP The hominid to whom the Mauer 1 mandible (discovered in 1907 in Mauer) belonged, the type specimen of Homo heidelbergensis, dies. [2]: 19727 ~225,000 BP
They interacted and interbred with the indigenous Neanderthals (H. neanderthalensis) of Europe and Western Asia, who went extinct 40,000 to 35,000 years ago. The first wave of modern humans in Europe (Initial Upper Paleolithic) left no genetic legacy to modern Europeans; [1] however, from 37,000 years ago a second wave succeeded in forming a ...
Humans migrating to Europe 45,000 years ago ‘were resilient to harsh climate’ ... Germany. The site was first explored by archaeologists between 1932 and 1938 when they unearthed long, leaf ...
Pre-human ancestors, the Danuvius guggenmosi, who were present in Germany over 11 million years ago, are theorized to be among the earliest ones to walk on two legs. [15] Ancient humans were present in Germany at least 600,000 years ago. [16] The first non-modern human fossil (the Neanderthal) was discovered in the Neander Valley. [17]
Bone fragments unearthed in a cave in central Germany show that our species ventured into Europe's cold higher latitudes more than 45,000 years ago - much earlier than previously known - in a ...
An important difference between Europe and other parts of the inhabited world was the northern latitude. Archaeological evidence suggests humans, whether Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon, reached sites in Arctic Russia by 40,000 years ago. [91] Cro-Magnon are considered the first anatomically modern humans in Europe.
