Selon des chercheurs qui ont travaillés sur une grotte d'hommes de Néandertal à Gilbraltar, certaines traces d'occupations de la grotte datent d'il y a environ 28 000 ans. Cela voudrait dire qu'il y aurait encore eu des hommes de Néandertal à cette époque alors qu'on les croyait disparut depuis longtemps. Cela n'a l'air de rien mais ça change tout.

Enfin, selon certains auteurs de SF, il y en aurait encore un du côté de la psychosphère...
Néandertal aurait duré plus longtemps que prévu

Top of pageThe late survival of archaic hominin populations and their long contemporaneity with modern humans is now clear for southeast Asia1. In Europe the extinction of the Neanderthals, firmly associated with Mousterian technology, has received much attention, and evidence of their survival after 35 kyr bp has recently been put in doubt2. Here we present data, based on a high-resolution record of human occupation from Gorham's Cave, Gibraltar, that establish the survival of a population of Neanderthals to 28 kyr bp. These Neanderthals survived in the southernmost point of Europe, within a particular physiographic context, and are the last currently recorded anywhere. Our results show that the Neanderthals survived in isolated refuges well after the arrival of modern humans in Europe.

Comme j'aime bien la surenchère dans ces domaines, je vous laisse ca :

Des chercheurs vont (essayer de) reconstituer le génome complet, à partir des quelques fossiles existants
