Earlier dates for Neandertal extinction cause a fuss
Revised age suggests the hominids disappeared 40,000 years ago in Europe

EARLY DEPARTURE  European Neandertals, including one represented by this lower jaw excavated in southern Spain, survived no later than about 40,000 years ago, new radiocarbon dates suggest.

Neandertals died out in Western Europe earlier than many scientists thought, between about 41,000 and 39,000 years ago, after interbreeding with modern humans and picking up toolmaking pointers from them for a few thousand years, a new study suggests.

These new findings join a long-standing debate about the fate of the Neandertals that shows no signs of dimming.

Previous reports that some Neandertals survived in Southwestern Europe until more recently, about 30,000 years ago, hinged on underestimates of the age of carbon from ancient bones and other organic material, say archaeologist Tom Higham of the University of Oxford and his colleagues. Improved radiocarbon dating methods now indicate that Neandertals disappeared at different times in different regions of Western Europe before finally going extinct about 40,000 years ago, the scientists report in the Aug. 21 Nature.

We know for sure Neanderthals went extinct before Humans crossed over to America about 17,000-20,000yrs ago or else we would have found them there, so we can use that event as the end of a ruler to solve this historic puzzle, now we need to calculate the other end! With our current knowledge, I honestly believe that Neanderthals went extinct between that event and 30,000. Why, well during that time we have found lots of humans with strong Neanderthal like features, half breeds if you will, that suggests to me, through indirect observation, they would have died around that time!

One word Hueyatlaco, second word, Mexico, third word, cover-up! When science goes wrong!

Were there ancient humans in America 200,000 to 500,000 thousand years ago? What if I told you we had a Wisconsin glaciation 6 to 7 times, in the last million years? There was a open highway to reach the America's at least that many times, who to say others wouldn't have made the journey?

Watch this documentary, with a bunch of scientists arguing over the data. I would have thought this as gibberish, except there are a few good valid arguments that should be looked into! go to 37:00 and listen to what the geochemist says about the dating method used, then listen to what he says from 37:00 to 39:00! Science doesn't lie! Watch the whole documentary, you'll be in for a treat!
