 32,000 BP to 29,000 BP

 

 

32,000 BP. About this time Khormusan tools were supplanted by cultures such as the Germanian.

32,000 BP to 21,000 BP: Aurignacian culture was located in Europe and South-West Asia. It may have been contemporary with the Prigordian culture.

~ End of the Mousterian Pluvial in North Africa.

~ Mysterian Neanderthals may have lived as recently as this.

~ Significant evidence of humans in North America.

~ Neanderthals were around to about his time from about 250,000 years ago so they probably had opportunity to see giants and humans. 

~ or earlier ca 31,000 0r 30,000 BP: The Late Paleolithic started in Egypt at these times. Human skeletons very like modern humans, but not quite which were dated to this period were found at the Nazlet Khater site in upper Egypt.

~ Early cave paintings well in evidence.

~ Upper Paleolithic: Stillbayan culture.

~ West Asia, including the Middle East: Emirian culture.

~ South, central, and northern Asia: Angara culture.

~ East and southwest Asia: Sen-Doki culture. 

31,000 BP: Rhinoceroses, lions, and mammoths featured on the walls of the Chauvet cave in southern France.

~ With the onset of the most recent Ice Age (the Holocene), layers of ice up to two miles thick blanketed northern regions, causing a massive reduction in sea level.

~ With  the fall in sea level, a land bridge (called Beringa) formed between Siberia and Alaska, which may have allowed the migration of some humans to enter the continent of America.

31,000 BP to 27,000 BP: Venus of Dolni Vestonice. It is the oldest known ceramic in the world. The Red Lady of Paviland(?) lived around 29 - 26,000 years ago. 30,000 BP~ Japan: Evidence that people lived in what is now Japan at this time.

~ 30,000 BP: With sea levels falling, a land bridge, known as Berigia, forms between Siberia and Alaska, enabling humans to enter the continent of America. Did the ones coming by sea have to line up to show their visa?

~ North America: Some evidence of humans.

~ First strong evidence of modern man in North America. We may find good evidence of modern man in NA earlier than 200,000 BP, probably not exactly the same as modern man.

~ Some overlap with Neanderthals. That is Neanderthals probably lived this recently.

~ Strong evidence of modern man in the New world by this time.

29,000 BP: Painted and engraved images, on the rock face in a cave near Twyfelfontein in Nambia date from a period about this time.

~ In the Cosquer cave near Marseilles, with irs entrance now far below sea level, a hand print was made.

 

 

 

 

44,000 BP to 41,000 BP 

43,000 BP: There is good evidence that by this time Denisovans and Neanderthals lived with "modern humans" in what is now Siberian Russia.

42,000 BP to 32,000 BP Khormusan Industry stone tools have been dated as active in Egypt at this time, Preceded by Aterian tools
42,000 BP: Magnetic poles flipped causing changes in temperature and radiation levels which may have killed many large mammals, which very likely included many humans!!

~ to 37,000 BP, Europe: Cro Magnon appear in early cultural center in the Swabian Alb, there very early figurative art found(Venus of Schelklingen is an example), beginning Aurignacian.
