Neandertal Nadir

BBCnews is carrying this report on the discovery of what could possibly have been the last place Neandertals ever lived. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal deposits indicates Neandertals were living in a cave complex in Gibraltar perhaps as recently as 24,000 years ago. The date is several thousand years later than the commonly held time when Neandertals disappeared.
