Oldest modern human genomes ever sequenced
Direction Ranis this time. Since the 1930s, this cave has spoiled us with a type of cut stone tools which is associated with a particular culture: that of the Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician (LRJ), which is estimated to date back 45,000 years (each culture is often identified by a specific style or technique of making tools from stone, bone, or other materials). The attribution of this culture to Neanderthals or Sapiens has been debated for decades. And for good reason: if a large pile of bones accompanied the tools, it seemed to contain only fauna. But the saying “you should never trust appearances” is also valid in archaeoanthropology. “A few years ago, a biochemical analysis found human proteins in the mix, indicating that we had missed something”says Hélène Rougier, anthropologist and associate professor at California State University, Northridge. -- Euro Day France
