New discovery of the end of Neanderthals

Neanderthals could be extinct earlier than the long-accepted theory, according to new research by international experts.

Modern people have shared Mother Earth with ancient human beings, including Neanderthals, the closest relatives of nephews. The problem, however, is always the hot topic of debate that involves the time of 'contact' of these two people, or rather the ' physical interaction' between Neanderthals and modern people.

The new hypothesis suggests that the Neanderthals were extinct more than 46,000 years ago

To clarify the secret, a group of international experts examined 215 bone samples found at 11 points in southern Iberia, now Spain, where the Neanderthals are the last land ever existed.

Neanderthals came to Europe in front of modern humans, and previous research suggested that they stayed in southern Iberia until 35,000 years ago, which could share the land with our ancestors for tens of thousands of years. .

However, when another method was used, to eliminate impurities, the experts found the bone to be more than 46,700 years old, and it was unlikely that Neanderthals lived beyond this timeline, according to Professor Thomas Higham of Oxford University (UK).

Thus, new research has provided data that modern people and Neanderthals can live at different times in the land, and have never been there before when arriving in Europe, according to the report. in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In terms of the modernist and Neanderthal hypothesis that mated, due to 1 - 4% of Neanderthal DNA in modern gene sequences, experts say this could happen before our ancestors entered Europe. .
