| In my view, modern humans evolved in situ from Neanderthals in Europe, as they did from robust forms elsewhere. |
| This enabled them to track the movements of both Neanderthals and early humans. |
| It was these anatomically modern humans which joined or supplanted the Neanderthals in Europe some 40,000 years ago. |
| For too long we have regarded the extinction of Neanderthals as a chance historical accident. |
| Modern humans probably exterminated the world's other archaic humans, the Neanderthals in Europe. |
| Associated with the Neanderthals is the Mousterian tool kit, comprising smaller and more refined implements than the Acheulian. |
