The discovery of an ancient fossilized child’s tooth in a French cave could just rewrite the history books, according to a new study published in Science Advances. This concludes that Homo sapiens arrived in Europe 54,000 years ago, much earlier than previously thought. Modern humans would therefore not have wiped the Neanderthals off the face of the earth as quickly as is often assumed. Conditional wise all, for the evidence rests roughly on one molar fragment and a few tools, attributed to homo sapiens.
