New York - Scientists have identified what may be one of the last
northern refuges of Neanderthals, a spot near the Arctic Circle in
Russia with artefacts dated to 31 000 to 34 000 years ago.
Stone
tools and flakes found there look like the work of Neanderthals, the
stocky, muscular hunters who lived in Europe and western Asia until they
were replaced by modern humans, researchers reported on Thursday in the
journal Science.
