There's not as much evidence from Britain as we would like to have for the last Neanderthals. So we have evidence of their stone tools at sites that go back to probably certainly 45 or 50,000 years ago. In Jersey, there's intriguing evidence on the island of Jersey of a population that might even have had mixed Neanderthal Homo sapiens features.

So there are some teeth which were thought to be Neanderthal teeth. discovered more than a century ago in Locotus and Brelad. But we studied them recently. And intriguingly, there are two different individuals. And both these individuals in their teeth show features that we think are typical both of Neanderthals and of Homo sapiens. And they're roughly 45,000 years old.

So that's exactly the time when there might have been a mixed population. So not much evidence as we would like, but it's possible there was even a kind of mixed heritage population on Jersey about 45,000 years ago. And when we come back to mainland Britain, We've got evidence now from Wogan Cavern. So Wogan Cavern is a fantastic site situated under Pembroke Castle. It's quite a site.

It is quite a site. And I think you've been there, haven't you? So you know what it's like. But that site has evidence of early Homo sapiens occupation. So there's even an LRJ point. Now, this industry, lincumium ranivitian, yeomanivitian, this is an industry which we know

typifies a Homo sapiens expansion in Europe about 45,000 years ago, which is present in places like Czechia, is present in Germany, is present in Belgium, and it's present at Wogan Cavern. So this was a spread of sapiens, previously undetected, probably about 45,000 years ago, reaching right over into Western Britain. And were the Neanderthals still there at that time?

Well, we can't be sure, but I think Wogan Cavern will be one of the places that will show the evidence of that or not.

I don't think there's anything particular, but obviously watch this space because in the next year, we're going to see yet more fantastic publications about this period of time between 40 and 50,000 years ago.
