Continuing my never ending tour of prehistory, i'm talking a look at the aurignacian culture, that spanned europe 35,000 years ago. so many people to thank i. The upper paleolithic, c. 46,000 to 12,000 years ago, marked by the arrival of anatomically modern humans and extending throughout the last glacial maximum; [4] the mesolithic or epipaleolithic, beginning about 14,000 years ago and extending until as late as 4,000 years ago in northern europe. the mesolithic may or may not be included as the.
The period of human activity to the end of the last major pleistocene glaciation, about 8300 bce, is termed the paleolithic period (old stone age); that part of it from 35,000 to 8300 bce is termed the upper paleolithic. the climatic record shows a cyclic pattern of warmer and colder periods. in the last 750,000 years, there have been eight. The oldest division of the old stone age is called the lower paleolithic, which spans a huge era of prehistory from about 3 million to 300,000 years ago. for instance, acheulean hand axes (shown. The palaeolithic ('old stone age ') makes up the earliest chunk of the stone age – the large swathe of time during which hominins used stone to make tools – and ranges from the first known tool use roughly 2,6 million years ago to the end of the last ice age c. 12,000 years ago, with part of its stone tool culture continuing up until c. At least three species within the genus homo achieved a paleolithic level of development. there is a great deal of evidence that the species h. erectus (which likely originated in africa and lasted from 1.9 million to about 200,000 years ago), h. neanderthalensis (that is, the neanderthals, who inhabited eurasia from at least 200,000 years ago to as late as 24,000 years ago), and h. sapiens.

The appearance of anatomically modern humans in europe—perhaps as early as about 55,000 bce but certainly by about 35,000 bce —was accompanied by major changes in culture and technology. there was a further period of significant change after the last major pleistocene glaciation (the pleistocene epoch occurred from about 2,600,000 to 11,700. Modern humans appeared in europe by at least 45,000 years ago 1,2,3,4,5, but the extent of their interactions with neanderthals, who disappeared by about 40,000 years ago 6, and their relationship.
