The Committee to Nuke Elysium

Stone tools discovered in this site confirm the continuity of human settlement in Europe, the researchers said.

The finding contradicts the theory of some researchers who believe Europe was populated in small waves without continuity by groups doomed to extinction because of their inability to adapt to new surroundings, they said in their statement.

“Even though they are very archaic tools, they reflect complex activities such as recovering animals that fell into the caves,” which functioned as traps, the statement said.

Researchers have also found the remains of a large bear which is an ancestor to the brown bear that exists today.

Various remains of this species were found at the site, as well as those of other animals such as rhinos, giant deer, bison and wild donkeys.
