Unexpectedly recent dates for human remains from Vogelherd
Article Abstract:
A report on the human specimens from the Vogelherd caves, which are viewed as the best evidence for an association between modern humans and early Aurignacian finds based on radiocarbon measurement, is presented. Results, which weaken the arguments for the Danube Corridor hypothesis and strengthen the views that Neanderthals may have contributed significantly to the development of upper Paleolithic cultural traits separate from the arrival of modern humans, are also presented.
