Directly accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (14C)-dated to 34,000– 36,000 14C years B.P., the Oase 1 mandible is the oldest definite early modern human specimen in Europe and provides perspec- tives on the emergence and evolution of early modern humans in the northwestern Old World. The moderately long Oase 1 mandi- ble exhibits a prominent tuber symphyseos and overall proportions that place it close to earlier Upper Paleolithic European specimens. -

Early modern humans, in contrast, tend to feature a level (or sloping) nasal floor. Sufficiently intact maxillae are rare among eastern Eurasian Pleistocene humans, but several fos- sils provide nasal floor configurations. The available eastern Eurasian Late Pleistocene early modern humans have predominantly level nasal floors, similar to western early modern humans. Of the four observable eastern Eurasian archaic Homo maxillae (Sangiran 4, Chaoxian 1, Xujiayao 1, and Chang- yang 1), three have the bi-level pattern and the fourth is scored as bi-level/sloping. It therefore appears that bi-level nasal floors were common among Pleistocene archaic humans, and a high frequency of them is not distinctive of the Neandertals. Key words: noses, maxilla, Asia, palate, Neandertal Introduction dominate with the bi-level configuration being present in ≤10% in all but a sub-Saharan African “Bantu” sample In his descriptions of the Shanidar Neandertal crania, (Table 1). -

La Préhistoire : Les Premiers Humains En « France »
h Chapitre 1 La préhistoire : les premiers humains en « France » Ce que vous allez apprendre • La présence de l’être humain en France est très ancienne : plus de 1,5 million d’années. • L’histoire de la préhistoire est née en France au XIXe siècle. • La France est riche de sites préhistoriques célèbres, de Lascaux à Carnac. • Les sociétés préhistoriques ont modifié la faune, la flore et les paysages. I. À LA DÉCOUVERTE D’UN MONDE LONGTEMPS IGNORÉ : LA PRÉHISTOIRE Histoire des découvertes préhistoriques Si l’existence des hommes de la préhistoire est aujourd’hui une évidence pour la grande majorité de nos contemporains, de même que l’ancienneté de l’humanité en millions d’années, ces connaissances sont fort récentes à l’échelle de la longue durée des sociétés humaines. Jusqu’au milieu du XIXe siècle, à de rares exceptions, les Européens n’imaginent même pas la possibilité d’une humanité antérieure à la Genèse (premier livre de la Bible). L’histoire de l’humanité est vieille de 4 000 à 5 000 ans, et pas davantage, estiment alors les savants. Les Églises chrétiennes, tout comme d’ailleurs le judaïsme et l’islam, s’en tiennent rigoureusement à ce qu’enseignent les textes sacrés sur les origines du monde et de l’humanité : la Torah pour les juifs, la Bible pour les chrétiens, le Coran pour les musulmans. Les trois religions monothéistes enseignent que l’univers, la Terre, le monde vivant et le genre humain ont été créés par Dieu, en fort peu de temps. L’idée d’une évolution de la vie et notamment de l’humanité sur des millions ou des milliards d’années est littéralement inconcevable pour les hommes de religion et pour les Européens jusqu’au milieu du XIXe siècle. -

The Sima de los Huesos cave locality is one of the sites containing Pleistocene humans in the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain) karst system (Aguirre, 1995; Arsuaga et al., 1993; Bischoff et al., 1997; Carbonell et al., 1995 and references therein). -

Autrefois considéré comme une sous-espèce au sein de l'espèce Homo sapiens, nommée par conséquent Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, Homme de Néandertal 2 il est désormais considéré par la majorité des auteurs comme une espèce indépendante nommée Homo neanderthalensis. Il est à l'origine d'une riche culture matérielle appelée Moustérien, ainsi que des premières préoccupations esthétiques et spirituelles (sépultures). Après une difficile reconnaissance, l'homme de Néandertal a longtemps pâti d'un jugement négatif par rapport aux Homo sapiens. Il est encore considéré dans l'imagerie populaire comme un être simiesque, fruste, laid et attardé. Il est en fait plus robuste qu'Homo sapiens et son cerveau est légèrement plus volumineux en moyenne. Les progrès de l'archéologie préhistorique et de la paléoanthropologie depuis les années 1960 ont mis au jour un être d'une grande richesse culturelle. De nombreux points sont encore à élucider, notamment concernant les causes de son extinction. -
