Paleoanthropologists determine that remains from the Le Rues cave belonged to a Cro-Magnon

Paleoanthropologists conducted a re-analysis of teeth found in the mid-last century, as well as a jaw fragment discovered in the French cave of Le Rues. These remains were extracted from the Aurignacian layer.

During the new study, scientists concluded that this find belongs to a person of modern anatomical type, which refutes previous assumptions about the remains belonging to Neanderthals. The results of this analysis were presented in an article published in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology.

Study shows archaic hominins from Huluh Cave lived over 600,000 years ago

A new scientific study was conducted using samples extracted from the Chinese cave of Huluh. Previously, more than thirty years ago, two skulls of archaic hominins were discovered in this cave.

Specialists applied uranium series and electron paramagnetic resonance methods to determine the age of these remains. The analysis established that the presumed age of these archaic humans exceeds 600,000 years.

The results of this study were officially presented in a scientific publication published in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews.
