Improved Science Puts Modern Humans in Europe Earlier
Dr. Mellars [in an article in Nature about improved radiocarbon dating] concludes from the revised chronology that the overlap between Neanderthals and new arrivals must be shortened to about 6,000 years in Central and Northern Europe, perhaps only 1,000 to 2,000 years in regions like western France.
Well, that was quick. So much for non-charismatic megafauna.
