It was found that these finds belong to the first Upper Palaeolithic interstadial and are one of the earliest Homo sapiens sapiens finds with certain archaic skull of Homo sapiens sapiens. The morphological features of some of the male skulls demonstrate well the Neanderthaloid heritage. This and the fact that they are contemporary with latest Homo sapiens neanderthalensis finds stress their importance. ER -
