Archaeologists have unearthed the earliest evidence of modern humans found in Europe while working in a Bulgarian cave. The finding suggests human migration landed in Europe around 45,000 years ago. It proves the first-ever Europeans had overlapped with Neanderthals for much longer than previously thought. There’s a period of 8,000 years between the first modern humans and the extinction of the last Neanderthal.
