Fossils found in Bulgaria dated to roughly 45,000 years ago show that Homo sapiens populations swept into Europe earlier than previously known - scientists
Researchers engage in excavations at Bacho Kiro Cave where Homo sapiens bones dating back about 45,000 years were recovered along with a rich stone tool assemblage, animal bones, bone tools and pendants near Dryanovo, Bulgaria, in an undated picture released May 11, 2020.
The research pushes back by thousands of years the arrival of Homo sapiens in Europe, a milestone in the history of a species that arose in Africa about 300,000 years ago and then spread worldwide. Neanderthals - more robustly built than Homo sapiens - had already inhabited Europe for hundreds of thousands of years. Hublin said the new findings indicate the two species overlapped for perhaps 8,000 years before the Neanderthals went extinct.
