Paul Mellars of Cambridge (England) University says that other tools in the cave indicate that modern humans with a distinctive toolmaking style known as Aurignacian inhabited Grotte des Fees between occupations by Neandertals bearing Chatelperronian tools. Other scientists have suggested that the Neandertals picked up ornaments from abandoned Aurignacian sites. A new study suggests that stone tools and other remains of the Aurignacian culture, generally attributed to the handiwork of the earlist European Homo sapiens sapiens, date to nearly 40,000 years ago in western Europe -- about 6,000 years earlier than previously thought. |
