Nonsense. I've seen pictures of Michael Moore, Gerhardt Schroeder and Jacques Chirac in northern Europe!

Maybe not, but I've been to Italy and southern France plenty of times.

Anything will smell if it has smelts in it.

By that time, Homo sapiens was already well-established and the Neanderthals were extinct.

And considering present day situation do you really take this as truth?....

LoL's!~

LOL! When I first read this all I could think was:
"What happened? Did some lawyers representing some of Neatherthal Man's descendants
file claims for reparations or land?"

Isn't Neanderthal Man named after a town in Germany?

Puzzling gaps in the findings

The chart above was published in the "Spiegel-Online" story referenced in the original post.

The Findings in dark red are from Professor Reiner Protsch von Zieten, those highlighted in yellow are the newest deteriminations. The blue figures are those determined by the placement of the finds in sedimentary layers (to my best interpretation).

According to the original article, the false readings have caused upheaval in areas where new theories were developed based on Protsch's findings. The hybrid theory, basically saying that a neanderthal mated with a homo sapiens, was based on the Hahnöfersand skull. Protsch dated it at 35,000 years, now it's determined to have been a 7,500 year old duck hunter on the Elbe.

Story is here, in German, unfortunately too long for me to want to translate:

I don't know the latitude of the Neander River valley, but it must be north of the 47th parallel because all of Germany is...that would put the Neanderthal in Northern Europe. Therefore it would appear that the Neanderthal people walked in Northern Europe. But maybe only people who served on Swift Boats in the Neander River are allowed to express an opinion.

No suprise there, glaciers covered most of northern europe during most of the span of neanderthals.

Yes. Neander Valley, Germany.

And that would be in Northern Europe, correct?

Are they saying Neanderthal Man never existed in Neanderthal?
