- Authors
Delson, Eric; Harvati, Katerina
- Abstract
The article presents the work of Finlayson and others, whose dating data from Gorham's Cave, of Gibraltar, point to the survival of Neanderthal's contradicting the earlier extinction theories. Neanderthals inhabited Eurasia from a time in the Middle Pleistocene between 500,000 and 160,000 years ago. The article also presents their tool designs, interaction with the moderm humans, coexistance, and strongly suggests that Neanderthal survived in southern Iberia longer than previously estimated.
