Neanderthals May Have Drilled Out a Cavity 59,000 Years Ago A recent excavation in Spain's Guadalupe Cave has uncovered evidence of a cavity created by Neanderthals using stone tools around 59,000 years ago.
According to research published in the journal Science, archaeologists from the University of Barcelona have made this discovery through a combination of traditional excavation techniques and modern dating methods.
What Led to This Discovery? The team, led by Dr. Inés Domingo, has been studying the cave's stratigraphy and fossil record for several years.
