A Nature research paper has revealed that Homo sapiens reached the higher latitudes of Europe by 45,000 years ago, evidenced by stone tools and a 45,000-year-old pit of bones. Simultaneously, three new papers confirm that Upper Palaeolithic humans reached central Europe, living alongside Neanderthals. In the Americas, the timeline for human settlement has been revised, with evidence suggesting settlement over 30,000 years ago, far earlier than the previously believed crossing of the Beringia land bridge 13,500 years ago. Articles in Palladium magazine and evidence of modern human presence in Europe 48,000 years ago support these findings.

Researchers believed the first settlers of North America crossed the Beringia land bridge 13,500 years ago. Now, archaeological and genetic evidence suggests humans may have settled the Americas over 30,000 years ago. Read new @razibkhan article: https://t.co/fnl8lf4aWR 1/6

Three new papers were published simultaneously, all about confirming that a group of Upper Palaeolithic humans had managed to reach central Europe whilst living alongside/avoiding Neanderthals. We now know that humans attempted to enter Europe on several occasions and initially… https://t.co/yHnRgKwlKN
