A Neanderthal jawbone from Spain was among those dated for a new study that pushes back the date for the Neanderthals' demise.

“...arrival of modern humans in Europe pushed our ancient Stone Age cousins into extinction...”
I always wondered about that.
If humanoids ‘arrived’ in Europe to find Neanderthals ALREADY there, then WHERE did the Neanderthals came from?
I wish these researchers would write better or do better research because this has always been unclear.

I suppose next they will say that white people raped, pillaged, beheaded and ate the neanderthals./s
I would like to see some peer reviews of these papers.

They were assimilated. We still have their ancestors among us.

The new finding relies on 196 samples of animal bones, shells, and charcoal taken from 40 Neanderthal cave sites reaching from Gibraltar to the Caucasus. Largely from prey species such as deer, bison, and mammoth, the bones all bear cut marks from a type of stone blade that Neanderthals used. That seems a pretty weak basis to make such a claim. How do they know the Neanderthals didn't upgrade their blades by copying what modern humans used?

The Neanderthal man was first discovered in Neanderthal (Neander Valley) near Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1856. This is where Joachim Neander, a seventeenth-century school principal and hymn writer liked to hang out, hold gatherings, and conduct religious services. The valley was eventually named for him. Shortly before his death from tuberculosis in 1680, he wrote the words to this famous hymn:
Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König (Praise to the Lord, the Almighty)

I don’t believe it.
Our high school football coach qualified as a neanderthal.
He certainly had the hair...
