Abstract

Thirty thousand years ago is the date most researchers associate with Neanderthal extinction and with the presence of modern humans in Europe, indicating that the two species may have coexisted in Europe for up to 10,000years. Although the duration of this coexistence is debated, it is clear from archeological and genetic evidence that there was contact between the two. However, it is not clear what may have happened during these encounters and what role, if any, anatomically modern humans (AMHs) may have played in Neanderthal extinction.
