In 2015, a research team led by archaeologists from the National Archaeological Institute of Bulgaria and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology resumed work at Bacho Kiro Cave with the goals of clarifying the chronology and the biological nature of the makers of the artifacts.
The researchers uncovered thousands of animal bones, stone and bone tools, beads and pendants and the remains of five human individuals...
Using a state-of-the-art technology called Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS), they identified human bone fragments and concluded that they were at least 45,000 years old -- a period coinciding with the arrival of multiple waves of Homo sapiens into Europe.
Subsequent shape analyses of the tooth and DNA examination of the fragments determined that they belonged to Homo sapiens and not Neanderthals, whose presence was not evident among the discovered fossils.
...said team member Professor Shara Bailey, a researcher in the Department of Anthropology at New York University and the Department of Human Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology... "Interestingly, when relating these mtDNAs to those of other ancient and modern humans, the mtDNA sequences from Layer I fall close to the base of three main macrohaplogroups of present-day people living outside of Sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, their genetic dates align almost perfectly with those obtained by radiocarbon."

The Neandertal Enigma"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

“Humans Created Earliest Modern Artifacts in Europe, Research Shows”
So what else on earth besides aliens could have created them?
The headline is rooted in morphological bigotry.
How specieist of them!

Democrats
Science is racist. Fossils are racist. I find it hard to believe that all of humanity is descended from just one area of this vast earth.
Isn't it odd that morphology of living people can't be used to determine race, but for extinct people...
democrats don’t create anything. They with mooch off others or destroy what has been built.
Then don't.
I don't and many others don't either.
I suggest you consider Multiregional Origin Of Modern Humans.
Monkeys probably created them and Democrats took credit for it.
Those look really like Szeletian points. maybe some of them are discarded cores. We so not know what hominid the Szeletians were, but this article implies they were homo sapiens of some variety - Aurignacians is the blanket name. However, similar stone points found elsewhere are attributed to Neanderthals. Perhaps it was a common technique shared by both hominids at the time.
