"Homo sapiens settled Europe in multiple waves, new evidence shows"

New research suggests that Homo sapiens settled in Europe in three distinct waves during the Upper Paleolithic Age, with evidence found in stone tool technology from sites across western Eurasia. The study challenges previous beliefs about the timing and origin of sapiens in Europe and sheds light on their interactions with Neanderthals. The findings suggest that the Chatelperronian culture, previously attributed to Neanderthals, may actually signal the second wave of Homo sapiens migration in Europe.
