A new study using advanced dating techniques has confirmed that the Petralona skull from Greece is at least 286,000 years old, providing crucial insights into human evolution and suggesting a complex, branching history of human populations in Europe during the Middle Pleistocene.
A skull found in Greece's Petralona Cave, fused to the wall for over 60 years, has been accurately dated to at least 277,000 years old using uranium-thorium dating, suggesting it belonged to a primitive hominid species possibly related to Homo heidelbergensis, providing new insights into human evolution during the Middle Pleistocene.
A 300,000-year-old skull found in Greece, neither human nor Neanderthal, has been dated using calcite growth to support its classification as Homo heidelbergensis, highlighting its coexistence with Neanderthals in Pleistocene Europe.
A 300,000-year-old skull found in Greece, previously debated in its classification, has been confirmed through calcite dating to be neither human nor Neanderthal but likely belongs to Homo heidelbergensis, providing new insights into human evolution in Europe.
A nearly complete skull found in Greece, known as the Petralona skull, has been dated to be at least 286,000 years old using U-series dating, shedding light on its place in human evolutionary history and suggesting it belongs to a distinct, primitive Homo group that coexisted with other hominin species in Europe during the Middle Pleistocene.
A nearly complete hominin skull found in Greece in 1960 has been dated to at least 286,000 years old using uranium-series dating, providing new insights into European human evolution and suggesting it coexisted with early Neanderthals during the Middle Pleistocene.
Researchers have dated the nearly complete Petralona Cave skull from Greece to be at least 286,000 years old using U-series dating, suggesting it belongs to a distinct, more primitive human group that coexisted with Neanderthals during the Middle Pleistocene.
