When Did the First 'Modern' Human Beings Appear in the Iberian Peninsula?

 

ScienceDaily (Mar. 15, 2010) — Research carried out by a group of archaeologists from the Centre for Prehistoric Archaeological Heritage Studies of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (CEPAP_UAB) at the Cova Gran site (Lleida) has contributed to stirring up scientific debate about the appearance of the first "modern" human beings on the Iberian Peninsula* and their possible bearing on the extinction of the Neanderthals.

Very interesting article. Thanks Moon.

 

Living in Spain as an avid fossil hunter, this story strikes a vibrant chord. Though the areas I frequent most are Triassic-Jurassic boundaries, with occasional Cambrian and Silurian formations, slightly older than the area this investigation transpires. Very cool. I'll try to keep track of the discoveries as they sift through the rest of the 2500m2.
