The oldest evidence of early Upper Paleolithic settlements in inland Iberia 2024 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The Iberian Peninsula is a key region for unraveling human settlement histories of Eurasia during the period spanning the decline of Neandertals and the emergence of anatomically modern humans (AMH). There is no evidence of human occupation in central Iberia after the disappearance of Neandertals ~42,000 years ago until approximately 26,000 years ago, rendering the region “nobody’s land” during the Aurignacian period. The Abrigo de la Malia provides irrefutable evidence of human settlements dating back to 36,200 to 31,760 calibrated years before the present (cal B.P.) This site also records additional levels of occupation around 32,420 to 26,260 cal B.P., suggesting repeated settlement of this territory. Our multiproxy examination identifies a change in climate trending toward colder and more arid conditions. However, this climatic deterioration does not appear to have affected AMH subsistence strategies or their capacity to inhabit this region. These findings reveal the ability of AMH groups to colonize regions hitherto considered uninhabitable, reopening the debate on early Upper Paleolithic population dynamics of southwestern Europe. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/RYC2022-037802-1 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/805478/EU/Population dynamics and cultural adaptations of the last Neandertals and first Modern humans in inland Iberia: a multi-proxy investigation/MULTIPALEOIBERIA This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 805478-MULTIPALEOIBERIA info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/949330/EU/The roots and evolution of the culture-of-death.
