"Uncovering Ancient Secrets: DNA Testing Redefines Early Human History in Europe"

New DNA analysis of bone fragments found near ancient stone tools in a German cave has revealed that the tools were made by Homo sapiens, not Neanderthals as previously thought. This discovery suggests that Homo sapiens were present in northwestern Europe 45,000 years ago, expanding across the continent earlier than previously believed. The findings challenge previous assumptions about the timing of human migration and the disappearance of Neanderthals, providing new insights into our ancient history.
