 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.

 

 

 

 

 35,000 BP to 32,000 BP

35,000 BP to 29,000 BP: Overlap period among Neanderthals and homo sapiens.

33,000 BC: In what became Ireland, there is evidence that at about this time there was human habitation.

 

34,000 BP to 23,000 BP: The Aurignacian culture was located in Europe and southwest Asia. It may have been contemporary with the Prigordian.

~ End of the Mousterian Pluvial in North Africa.

~ Mysterian Neanderthals may have lived as recently as this. Evidence of Neanderthals begins about 250,000 BP.

~ Significant evidence of humans in North America. 

~  Europeans can harden clay figures by firing them at high temperatures, perhaps in "ovens."

~ Strong evidence of modern human habitation of the what is now Ukraine by this time. 

~ Evidence suggests that the use of the atlatl, spear thrower, was active at this time.

~ to 23,000 BP: The Aurignacian culture was located in Europe and Southeast Asia. It may have been contemporary with the Prigordian.

~ 32,000 BP: Reinvention of the bow and arrow.

~ North Africa: End of the Mousterian Pluvial.

~ North America: Significant evidence of humans.

~ Neanderthals  were around at this time from about 250,000 years ago, so they probably had the opportunity to see giants.

~ to 28,000 BP, Germany: Figurine of "lion/human" form, from Holhenstin-Stadel created. It is now in the Ulmer Museum, Ulm.

32,000 BP: Reinvention of the bow and arrow.

~ North Africa: End of the Mousterian Pluvial.

~ Mysterian Neanderthals may have lived as recently as this.

~ North America: Significant evidence of humans.

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

~ to 28,000 BP, Germany: Lion/human from Hohlenstein-Stadel was created.It is now in Ulmer Museum of Ulm.

32,000 BP: Early cave painting in evidence

30,000 BP: The Late Paleolithic may have started in Egypt about this time, but some date it from 29,000 to 28,000 years ago. Human skeletons very much like modern humans, but not quite, which dated to this earlier period at the Nazlet Khater site in Upper Egypt.
