Researches have determined that early man and our cousins the Neanderthals did not overlap on the Iberian peninsula (Spain). We've gotten much better at carbon dating, interpreting the decay rates with more accuracy.
With that we've learned, from our samples that, the two species did not co-habitat in Spain. The title of this article is misleading…or I'm misreading…its not 1000 years, but some 11000 years, the difference between the two.
Article.
I've said this before, but to categorically state what happened 45000 years ago after taking samples from a dozen bones is horribly horribly misleading. We have a plethora of evidence on Loch Ness and still can't say if there is a monster in that lagoon!
And another thing. We keep basing our information off of these bog men…people we find stuck in tar pits or frozen in the ice. These might have been the really dumb cave men.
