A dental remains found in Italy show that modern humans were responsible for proto-Aurignacian culture, about 42,000 years ago, whose artifacts are linked to the arrival of “Homo sapiens “Western Europe, according to a study released today by the journal Science.
This helps resolve the debate over which group finding was the origin of this culture, which coincided with the end of Neanderthals in southwest and south-central Europe.
The researchers were not sure if the proto-Aurignacian culture, known for its simple ornaments, had emerged from modern humans or was an evolution of Neanderthals in southern France .
The team led by Stefano Benazzi, doctor of Anthropology, University of Vienna, analyzed incisors found in two places in Italy and confronted with enamel from fossil records 41,000 years ago.
Later, one of the teeth compared containing mitochondrial DNA to find matches with the current, ancient humans human, “Homo neanderthalensis” the Denisova hominid in Asia, another hominid and a chimpanzee Spain.
As a result, the researchers confirmed that auriñacenses teeth proto-Aurignacian were related to archeology, and since Neanderthals disappeared from Western Europe about 39,260 million years ago, Benazzi suggested that the arrival of the first have caused the decline of the latter.
The Culture Aurignacian replaced 38,000 years ago, in southwestern Europe, the Mousterian culture in the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic. E
