…for up to 5,400 years. "Neanderthals and modern humans were both living in Europe for between 2,600 and 5,400 years, according to a new paper published in the journal, Nature. For the first time, scientists have constructed a robust timeline showing when the last Neanderthals died out, Significantly, the research paper says there is strong evidence to suggest that Neanderthals disappeared at different times across Europe rather than being rapidly replaced by modern humans. A team, led by Professor Thomas Higham of the University of Oxford, obtained new radiocarbon dates for around 200 samples of bone, charcoal and shell from 40 key European archaeological sites. The sites, ranging from Russia in the east to Spain in the west, were either linked with the Neanderthal tool-making industry, known as Mousterian, or were 'transitional' sites containing stone tools associated with either early modern humans or Neanderthals…"

I believe, if you have money to spend on it, there is a DNA test that will tell you exactly how much Neanderthal DNA you have. I believe the average for Europeans is around 5%. |

I have heard that the reason that indo/european people are so diferent to africans is the mix of neanderthal DNA in us. the "caveman" image is just steroetype and may have really given us some good advantages |
